Comprehensive Model School Project M.S. 327

Comprehensive Model School Project M.S. 327 serves students in grades 6-12 in the Bronx, fostering an inclusive community dedicated to high academic achievement and social-emotional development. The school is noted for its strong relationships with families and a supportive, family-like atmosphere, with parents reporting overwhelmingly positive experiences. It is situated within the modern New Settlement Community Campus, offering unique facilities such as a swimming pool, dance studio, rooftop garden, and an on-site medical clinic. The school emphasizes college preparation, providing Advanced Placement courses and a College Now partnership with Lehman College, and boasts a graduation rate well above the citywide median, with college enrollment also exceeding the median. However, academic performance in middle school ELA is below the citywide median, and high school Regents pass rates show significant weaknesses in certain math and science subjects. The school's safety and school climate rating is fair, and student surveys indicate concerns regarding bullying and physical altercations.
