Summary:
The zip code 10466 in the Bronx, New York is home to 16 schools, including 10 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 3 high schools. This area faces significant economic challenges, with very high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch across all the schools.
Despite the economic disadvantages, a few schools stand out as high-performers. Bronx Charter School For Excellence 3 and Bronx Charter School For Excellence 4 are highly ranked charter schools, with strong test scores, particularly in math, and high graduation rates. PS 68 is a high-performing public elementary school, ranking in the top 650 in the state with very strong test scores, especially in math. Baychester Academy is also a solid public elementary school with above-average test scores.
In contrast, some of the public district schools in the area, like PS 112 Bronxwood and PS 87, struggle with very low test scores and state rankings. The charter schools in the area appear to be more effective at supporting the predominantly economically disadvantaged student population and helping them achieve academic success, despite having lower per-student spending and higher student-teacher ratios than the public district schools.
