Bronx Collaborative High School

Bronx Collaborative High School offers a distinctive high school experience, emphasizing a "college liberal arts experience" through project-based learning where students act as "academic detectives" to investigate real-world challenges using New York City's resources and history. The curriculum features 90-minute classes in a college format, encouraging group work, conversation, and debate, with students choosing courses with the help of an advisor. The school is committed to restorative practices and social justice, and prepares students for college and careers, including offering AP courses and on-site college courses. Parents and teachers describe a supportive community with dedicated educators, and the school is noted for its inclusive environment. However, the school's four-year graduation rate is around the citywide 25th percentile, and its college enrollment rate is below the 25th percentile, indicating areas for improvement in post-secondary outcomes. Student surveys reveal some concerns regarding safety, bully prevention, and mental health support. Some feedback also points to a need for more extracurricular activities and improved communication and organization.
