World View High School

World View High School in the Bronx is a college preparatory institution with a strong emphasis on mathematics and the sciences, known for its commitment to college readiness and a supportive environment. The school boasts an exceptionally high graduation rate of 96%, which is well above the citywide median, and maintains an excellent attendance rate of 97%. Parents express overwhelmingly positive sentiment, with survey results showing 97-98% favorability across all questions and a 100% response rate. Students generally feel safe in common areas, and the school reports a zero suspension rate. World View High School offers distinctive programs like College Now, allowing students to take college-level classes starting in 10th grade, and requires all students to complete at least one Advanced Placement (AP) or College Now course before graduation. The curriculum incorporates project-based learning and portfolio presentations, aiming to develop rigorous research and evidence-based skills. However, the college enrollment rate of 57.9% is below the citywide median, and Regents pass rates in subjects like Physics, Geometry, Algebra I, and Chemistry are notably low compared to city and state averages. While English and Languages Other Than English (LOTE) Regents pass rates are strong, some student feedback indicates the academic workload can be stressful, and there are concerns regarding bullying, substance use, and physical altercations, as reflected in student survey results. The school also faces some challenges with resources and facilities, including crowded hallways due to sharing a larger campus.
