Equality Charter School is a middle and high school consisting of 630 scholars from grades 6th-12th, located in the Co-op City and Castle Hill sections of the Bronx. Over 82% of Equality’s scholars qualify for free or reduced price lunch, 76% arrive below grade level in English Language Arts, and 23% have learning disabilities .Today, we are working on plans for the next phase of Equality: an expansion to Elementary School, that will serve 540 scholars in grades K-5. We serve a population where 25% are students with disabilities. In 2021 and 2022 our graduation rates were 92%, surpassing the district, city, and state. We see endless possibilities of what Equality can provide for our scholars and community. Every year we host our Annual Spring Reception. This year it is our 15th year in operation, so we plan to make this one a big celebration. Our goal is to honor one of our esteemed community members and commend them on the work they do everyday to ensure that our area is always the best it can be. We hope to make this an event where our community can feel recognized and appreciated. Our Spring Reception is an end of year party where we all come together and celebrate the end of a successful academic year. A big focus in our celebration is of course fundraising. A main way we fundraise is through raffles, and this is where you hopefully come in!
