Mott Hall III

Mott Hall III is a Bronx middle school serving grades 6-8, known for its small, family-like environment where students are encouraged to achieve their best. The school emphasizes challenging academic experiences and high standards, offering opportunities for Regents-level courses and high school credit before graduation. Its ELA and Math proficiency rates are above the citywide 25th percentile, though below the median, and it consistently outperforms its district and the state in academic proficiency. Mott Hall III is an International Baccalaureate candidate school and a Competency Collaborative member. The curriculum includes weekly talent periods, college trips, and after-school activities like art club, sports, and musical theater. Parents generally appreciate the challenging academics and high standards, supported by tools like weekly progress reports and an online gradebook. However, student survey results indicate some concerns regarding school climate, with lower favorable ratings for fair conflict resolution and the prevalence of bullying. Despite this, a majority of students report feeling safe in common areas. The school has been recognized by the NY Daily News and profiled in "New York City's Best Public Middle Schools: A Parent's Guide," with graduates often gaining acceptance into competitive high schools.
