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.

Bronx Career And College Preparatory High School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of New York high schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very poor academic performance. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as female students, male students, Hispanic students, and students with special needs. The school's four-year graduation rate has been declining, from 84.3% in 2023-2024 to 57.1% in 2023-2024, while the dropout rate has been increasing, from 4.5% in 2023-2024 to 12.2% in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school has extremely high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 31.5% in 2023-2024 to 62.1% in 2023-2024.
