Summary

Frederick Douglass Academy V Middle School is a public middle school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 182. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #12, which is ranked 760 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the district and state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 16.36% to 68.75% in ELA and 19.51% to 31.58% in Math, while the district and state averages were significantly higher. The school's performance on Regents exams is also below the district and state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 5.88% to 66.67%. The school's performance has been consistently low over the past several years, with rankings in the bottom quartile of New York middle schools.

Comparing the school's performance to nearby schools, such as Jonas Bronck Academy in the neighboring New York City Geographic District #10, highlights the importance of understanding the local context and identifying best practices that can be replicated to improve student achievement. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes, indicating that the school may need to re-evaluate its instructional strategies and resource allocation.
