Summary

Bronx Arts And Science Charter School is an elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the Bronx, New York, with 347 students. The school has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on New York State Assessments in English Language Arts and Math, with proficiency rates ranging from 25.71% to 60.38% in ELA and 37.14% to 54.84% in Math, while the state averages were 50.86% to 56.61% in ELA and 51.2% to 59.7% in Math. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students and English Language Learners performing relatively better, but African American students and students with special needs ranking in the bottom 10% and bottom 50%, respectively.

Despite the school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 80.94% to 89.49%, and the increasing spending per student, from $16,019 in 2020-2021 to $24,045 in 2023-2024, the overall performance remains relatively low compared to the state and nearby schools. For example, Ps 304 Early Childhood School, located just 0.47 miles away, consistently outperforms Bronx Arts And Science Charter School in both ELA and Math proficiency rates.

While the school's performance for Hispanic students and English Language Learners is relatively stronger compared to other subgroups, the overall outcomes remain relatively low. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as curriculum, instruction, and school leadership, may be contributing to the school's challenges. Exploring these factors and identifying best practices from higher-performing nearby schools could be valuable next steps for Bronx Arts And Science Charter School.
