Summary

Utica Academy Of Science Charter School is an alternative public charter school located in Frankfort, NY, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 954 students. The school has a diverse student population, with 82.91% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.

Utica Academy Of Science Charter School has consistently maintained high four-year graduation rates, reaching 98.3% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average. However, the school has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.6% to 39.5% in recent years, which is higher than the state average. The school's performance on state assessments and Regents exams has been mixed compared to the state averages, with the school outperforming the state in some subject areas and grade levels, but underperforming in others, particularly in mathematics.

When compared to the nearby Brookfield Central School District and Richfield Springs Central School District, Utica Academy Of Science Charter School generally performs better in terms of graduation rates, dropout rates, and some academic performance metrics. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rates are higher than these nearby schools. The school's socioeconomic factors, such as the high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and its relatively high student-teacher ratio of 19.4 may contribute to some of the challenges the school faces.
