Mott Hall Charter School

Summary:

Mott Hall Charter School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Bronx, New York, with a total enrollment of 228 students. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority of Hispanic and African American students, and serves a high-poverty community, with 92.54% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite the school's charter status, Mott Hall Charter School has consistently underperformed compared to state and district averages on standardized tests. In the 2022-2023 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math were significantly lower than the state averages, with 6th grade ELA at 25% (vs. 45.82% state) and 8th grade Math at 19.05% (vs. 40.74% state). The school has a low statewide ranking, consistently placing in the bottom quartile of New York middle schools, and has been rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger for the past several years, indicating poor overall performance.

Mott Hall Charter School's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students performing better than the overall school average but still lagging behind state and district averages. The school's performance is particularly low for English Language Learners and students with special needs. Interestingly, nearby public middle schools, such as Esmt-IS 190 and Bronx Writing Academy, have higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math, as well as higher statewide rankings, compared to Mott Hall Charter School. The school's high poverty rate likely contributes to the academic challenges faced by the students, and addressing these systemic issues may be crucial for improving student outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
