Summary:
Family Life Academy Charter School II is the sole school in the Family Life Academy Charter School II district, serving grades K-8 in the Bronx, New York. With a total enrollment of 800 students, the school's performance on state assessments is mixed, with some grade levels and subjects exceeding the state averages while others lag behind. The school has a very high percentage of students (95.25%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high-need student population.
The school's test scores on the New York State Assessments show a varied performance, with 4th grade ELA (70% proficient) and 7th grade Math (56.77% proficient) outperforming the state averages, but 3rd grade Math (36.96% proficient) and 8th grade Math (27.88% proficient) falling short. The school's Regents exam performance is also mixed, with a significantly lower proficiency rate in U.S. History and Government (45.21%) compared to the state average (78.47%), but a higher rate in Algebra I (64.29% vs. 62.47%).
Despite the school's relatively high spending per student ($17,949) and a student-teacher ratio of 24:1, the mixed academic performance suggests the need for a closer examination of the school's curriculum, instructional practices, and support systems to identify areas for improvement. The school's high percentage of students from low-income backgrounds may also have implications for the school's resource needs and strategies to address the unique challenges faced by this population.
