Family Life Academy Charter Schools High School

Family Life Academy Charter Schools High School, located in the Bronx, is a charter high school serving grades 9-12. The school emphasizes self-empowerment, high academic standards, and affirming human values, fostering a strong sense of community and a family-like environment. It offers a rigorous, student-centered curriculum with inquiry-based learning and opportunities for dual enrollment to earn college credits. A notable strength is the success of its first graduating class (Class of 2026), which achieved a 100% college acceptance rate, with students gaining admission to institutions like Cornell and NYU, and collectively securing over $2.5 million in scholarships. Regents exam pass rates are strong in English and Languages Other Than English, and good in Global History. However, pass rates in Geometry, Algebra I, and Chemistry are areas for development. The school serves a student population with a very high percentage of economic need. Parents and students generally describe a supportive and welcoming environment. While the school aims for a positive culture, some internal employee feedback indicates challenges with staff turnover and management. The school occupies a new, state-of-the-art building.
