Bronx Career and College Preparatory High School

Bronx Career and College Preparatory High School is a small high school in the Bronx, serving grades 9-12, with an enrollment of 124 students. The school's mission focuses on developing professional core values—promptness, preparedness, positivity, and productivity—alongside work-based learning opportunities and academic experiences to prepare students for life after high school. Parents express overwhelmingly positive sentiment, with survey results showing nearly universal satisfaction with the school environment and relationships. However, academic outcomes present significant challenges, with a four-year graduation rate of 55% and a college enrollment rate of 38.7%, both well below citywide medians. Regents pass rates across all subjects are also notably low. While student surveys indicate generally positive perceptions of cleanliness, conflict resolution, and safety agents, some students express concerns regarding physical fights, bullying, and substance use. The school aims to offer rigorous academic options, including AP courses and college-credit bearing classes, and provides career planning with potential internships at local hospitals. Some external reviews suggest uneven teaching quality and strict rules, contrasting with the strong parent survey data.
