Broome Street Academy Charter High School

Broome Street Academy Charter School, a high school serving grades 9-12 in SoHo, Manhattan, is distinguished by its unique partnership and co-location with The Door, a comprehensive youth services organization. This collaboration provides students with extensive wraparound support, including healthcare, mental health services, legal aid, daily meals, job training, and various arts programs, all within modern facilities that include a gymnasium, dance studio, and recording studio. The school prioritizes serving a high-needs population, including students experiencing housing instability or in foster care. While parents express very high satisfaction in surveys, academic outcomes present significant challenges. The school's graduation rate of 67% and college enrollment rate of 29.7% are both well below the citywide 25th percentile. Regents pass rates are also notably low across most subjects. Student surveys indicate concerns regarding safety, bullying, and fair conflict resolution, though many students appreciate the supportive teaching staff and a "champion" mentor model that provides personalized guidance. The school is recognized for its diverse student body.
