Summary

Success Academy Charter School-Bronx 3 is a public charter school serving 1,330 students in grades K-12 in the Bronx, New York. The school is known for its strong academic performance, consistently outperforming the state average on New York State Assessments in English Language Arts, Math, and Science.

With a four-year graduation rate ranging from 83.9% to 85.1% over the past few years, which is above the state average, and relatively low dropout rates, Success Academy Charter School-Bronx 3 stands out as a high-performing charter school in the area. When compared to other nearby charter schools, such as KIPP Academy Charter School and Pharos Academy Charter School, Success Academy consistently outperforms them on academic measures like test scores and graduation rates.
