Emolior Academy

Emolior Academy is a Bronx middle school (grades 6-8) known for its college preparatory mission and a strong focus on Math, Science, Technology, Engineering, and the Arts. The school emphasizes rigorous instruction, with a curriculum designed to go beyond state standards, and actively prepares students for specialized high school entrance exams and offers Regents courses in 8th grade. This commitment is reflected in a high percentage of students participating in accelerated coursework, which is well above the citywide median. Parents consistently report overwhelmingly positive experiences, praising the school's strong relationships with families and the supportive environment. Teachers also express high satisfaction with the school's leadership and willingness to recommend the school to other families. While ELA and Math proficiency rates are below the citywide median, some online reviews describe the education and teachers as exceptional. Student surveys, however, indicate some concerns regarding school climate, including bullying, physical altercations, and the fairness of conflict resolution. The school's name, meaning "to make better through effort" in Latin, reflects its ethos.
