Summary:
The 10452 zip code in the Bronx, New York is home to a single middle school, Highbridge Green School (The), which serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 387 students. Based on the available data, this school does not appear to be a standout performer, as it consistently underperforms the district and state averages on state assessments in English Language Arts and Math.
Highbridge Green School (The) has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger and its ranking among New York middle schools has declined over the past three years, going from 1366 out of 1500 in 2022-2023 to 1039 out of 1500 in 2024-2025. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments range from 31.9% to 50.4% across different grade levels and subjects, compared to district averages of 32.43% to 44.62% and state averages of 46.74% to 56.47%. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students (99.22%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite the high spending per student of $34,806, which is significantly higher than the state average, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.2, the school's academic performance remains below average. This suggests that simply increasing funding or reducing class sizes may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes at Highbridge Green School (The). Targeted interventions and support may be necessary to help the school better serve its student population and address the challenges it faces.
