Access Bronx Charter School is the sole elementary school serving grades K-8 in this area, with a total enrollment of 501 students. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 1,243 out of 2,445 elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 2,178 out of 2,445 in 2024-2025, earning a 2-star rating.
While the school's proficiency rates on state assessments are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Math, its 8th grade performance is stronger, with 70.45% proficient in ELA and 64.10% proficient in Math, both exceeding the state averages. However, the school's science proficiency rates are lower than the state averages, with 5th grade at 18.42% and 8th grade at 76.92%, compared to state averages of 45.02% and 43.50%, respectively.
The school serves a high-need population, with 95.41% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, and a per-student spending of $21,457 for the same school year. The uneven performance across grade levels and the socioeconomic challenges faced by the school's population suggest that there may be opportunities for the school to focus on improving instructional practices and support for students in core academic areas, particularly in the lower grades.
