Bronx Academy for Multi-Media

Bronx Academy for Multi-Media, also known as The Hunts Point School, is a small middle school serving grades 6-8 in the Bronx. It is known for its hands-on learning approach in science and multimedia, offering students choices in photography, multimedia film, theater, and visual arts. The school demonstrates a notable strength in math proficiency, performing well above the citywide median. Relationships with families are rated as excellent, supported by overwhelmingly positive parent survey responses. As a Community School, it partners with Graham Windham to provide extensive extracurricular activities for students and resources for families, including GED classes, resume assistance, a food pantry, and a 'care closet'. The school emphasizes individualized support through small classes, a daily 'What I Need' period for academic catch-up, and weekly 'family groups'. While ELA proficiency is a concern, falling below the citywide 25th percentile, the school maintains good ratings for instruction and overall safety and school climate. Student survey data indicates some concerns regarding bullying, physical fights, and gang activity. The school shares its building with Hyde Leadership Charter School and offers Regents classes in some subjects for 8th graders.
