Summary

Pelham Academy Of Academics And Community Engagement is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Bronx, New York. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #11, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Overall, Pelham Academy performs relatively well compared to its district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math proficiency. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 7th grade ELA proficiency rate was 62.5% compared to the district's 46.66% and the state's 50.99%. In 7th grade Math, the school's proficiency rate was 80% compared to the district's 51.14% and the state's 56.47%. The school's performance for its African American and Hispanic student populations is also strong, ranking in the top 50% of New York middle schools for these subgroups. However, the school struggles in certain subject areas, such as U.S. History and Government, where its proficiency rates are significantly lower than the district and state.

Compared to nearby schools in the same district, Thomas C Giordano Middle School 45, Leaders Of Tomorrow, and North Bronx School Of Empowerment, Pelham Academy generally outperforms them, particularly in ELA and Math proficiency rates. However, a school in a different district, Jonas Bronck Academy, demonstrates even stronger overall performance, suggesting there may be opportunities for Pelham Academy to learn from their practices.
