Summary

St. Hope Leadership Academy Charter School is a middle school located in New York, NY, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 186 students. The school is part of the St. Hope Leadership Academy Charter School District, which is ranked 554 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York middle schools, with performance on state assessments generally below the state average, it demonstrates some strengths in supporting certain high-need student populations. For example, the school's performance for English Language Learners and Special Education students is particularly strong, with rankings in the top 10-30% of New York middle schools in recent years. This may be due to the school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio, which likely contribute to its ability to provide more individualized support and resources for its high-need students.

The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with some subgroups, such as male students, African American students, and Hispanic students, performing much better than the overall school average. This suggests that the school may be effectively targeting the needs of certain subgroups, while struggling to support the performance of other subgroups, such as female students. By closely examining the factors contributing to these performance gaps and implementing targeted strategies, St. Hope Leadership Academy Charter School may be able to improve its academic outcomes and better serve its diverse student community.
