DeWitt Clinton High School

DeWitt Clinton High School, a historic institution in the Bronx, has served students since 1897, moving to its expansive Mosholu Parkway campus in 1929. Known for its wide array of "Pathway Programs," the school offers students specialized four-year sequences in areas like Health Professions, Computer Science, Dance, Visual Art, Music Production, and the Macy Honors Early College Program. These pathways are designed to provide college credits through partnerships with institutions like Syracuse University and Lehman College, professional certifications, and paid internships, preparing students for both higher education and vocational careers. The school boasts a strong 95% graduation rate, well above the citywide median, and a college enrollment rate near the city average. Parents consistently report high satisfaction with the school, praising its community and the numerous opportunities available. The campus features spacious sports fields, including a recently upgraded football complex, and a swimming pool. While the school is celebrated for its diverse offerings and supportive environment, some Regents exam pass rates are a concern, and student surveys indicate areas for improvement regarding discipline and student safety.
