Summary

Baychester Middle School is a public middle school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 284 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #11, which is ranked 627 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Baychester Middle School consistently performs below the district and state averages in proficiency rates for English Language Arts (ELA) and Math on the New York State Assessments. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 27.37% in 6th grade ELA, 20% in 6th grade Math, and 25% in 8th grade Math, compared to the district averages of 44.03%, 39.64%, and 44.80%, respectively. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the English Language Learner (ELL) and Special Education student groups performing significantly worse than their peers.

Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $31,175 in the 2023-2024 school year, Baychester Middle School's academic performance remains low, suggesting that the resources may not be effectively allocated or utilized to drive student learning and achievement. When compared to nearby middle schools within the same district, Baychester Middle School generally performs worse academically, with lower proficiency rates in ELA and Math. However, one exception is Cornerstone Academy For Social Action Middle School, which has even lower proficiency rates than Baychester.
