P.S. 073 Bronx

P.S. 073 Bronx is a smaller elementary school serving Pre-K through 5th grade in the Highbridge neighborhood, housed in an impressive brick and stone building that showcases distinctive 19th-century architecture. The school fosters a supportive environment, reflected in overwhelmingly positive parent survey responses regarding various aspects of the school experience. It maintains a 0% suspension rate and benefits from smaller average class sizes. A notable offering is its Kindergarten Spanish Dual Language program, which has been recognized as a model for dual-language education in New York City. While parents generally report strong satisfaction, academic proficiency in both ELA and Math is below citywide averages, and the school serves a higher proportion of English Language Learners and students with Individualized Education Programs. There are also concerns regarding a high chronic absenteeism rate. Some external feedback highlights dedicated teachers and a focus on arts and technology, though a recent review raised serious concerns about safety and bullying.
