J.H.S. 022 Jordan L. Mott

J.H.S. 022 Jordan L. Mott serves grades 5-8 in the Bronx, emphasizing student leadership, creativity, and community through programs like debate, music, and media projects. The school's core values, ROARS (Respect, Organization, Action, Responsibility, and Safety), guide its approach. While the school fosters strong relationships with families, reflected in overwhelmingly positive parent survey responses, academic proficiency in both ELA (29%) and Math (23%) is a significant concern, falling well below citywide 25th percentile benchmarks. Student survey results indicate a high percentage of students feel the school promotes a diverse and inclusive environment (83%) and provides guidance for future transitions (82%). However, student perceptions of safety and conflict resolution are mixed, with a majority of students reporting bullying occurs at least sometimes. The school shares its building with other schools and offers free after-school, summer, and Saturday programs, alongside a partnership with Sheltering Arms Children and Family Services.
