Summary

Family Life Academy Charter School III is an elementary public charter school located in the Bronx, New York, serving 198 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Family Life Academy Charter School III District, which is ranked 680 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school serves a predominantly disadvantaged student population, with 95.96% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, its academic performance has been a concern. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, dropping from 470 out of 2,395 New York elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 1,588 out of 2,445 in 2024-2025. Its proficiency rates on state assessments range from 32.43% to 66.67% in various subjects and grade levels, generally below the state average. The school's performance is particularly low in 3rd grade English Language Arts, where only 34.29% of students were proficient in 2024-2025, compared to the state average of 54.15%.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as PS 49 Willis Avenue, PS 154 Jonathan D Hyatt, and Access Bronx Charter School, generally outperform Family Life Academy Charter School III on state assessments, with higher proficiency rates in ELA and Math. However, Family Life Academy Charter School III appears to have a higher ranking for its English Language Learner and Special Education student subgroups compared to the nearby schools.
