Mott Hall Charter School

Summary:

Mott Hall Charter School is a public charter middle school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 228 students. Despite relatively high spending per student and a low student-to-teacher ratio, the school faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its predominantly disadvantaged student population.

Mott Hall Charter School consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of New York middle schools, with its academic performance significantly below the state average across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in ELA ranged from 24% to 40.58%, compared to the state average of 43.64% to 51.88%.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
