Summary

Atmosphere Academy Public Charter School is an alternative public charter school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 1,352 students. The school serves a student population from low-income backgrounds, as indicated by the high percentage of free and reduced lunch recipients.

Atmosphere Academy stands out as a high-performing school, consistently outperforming the state average on the New York State Assessments in various subject areas and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school had 58.86% proficiency in 6th grade ELA, 61.04% in 7th grade ELA, and 60.14% in 8th grade ELA, compared to the state averages of 50.86%, 50.99%, and 52.38%, respectively. The school's students also performed well on Regents exams, with higher proficiency rates than the state in several subjects, such as Common Core English Language Arts (83.16% vs. 75.29%), Global History and Geography (90.2% vs. 75.98%), and U.S. History and Government (80% vs. 75.03%). When compared to nearby schools, such as Virtual Innovator's Academy and Nuasin Next Generation Charter School, Atmosphere Academy generally outperforms them in academic performance.

Despite the school's strong academic performance, Atmosphere Academy has faced challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 31.5% to 37.8% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a relatively high spending per student, ranging from $18,224 to $23,901 over the past few years, which is higher than the state average and some of the nearby schools. The school's student-teacher ratio has also fluctuated over the years, ranging from 12.9 to 31.3 students per teacher, which is generally higher than the nearby schools. Overall, Atmosphere Academy appears to be providing a quality education to its students, but addressing the chronic absenteeism issue could be a key focus for the school's continued success.
