Bronx Global Learning Institute for Girls Charter School

Bronx Global Learning Institute for Girls Charter School, known as BGLIG or "Big League," serves girls in grades K-8 with a dual-language English and Spanish program. The school emphasizes a rigorous curriculum with an extended school day focused on literacy, technology, and the role of women in history and society. Academically, students perform at the citywide median in English Language Arts proficiency, but math proficiency is a concern, falling at the 25th percentile citywide. The school maintains a very low suspension rate, which is a significant strength. Parent satisfaction is exceptionally high, with overwhelmingly positive feedback on school surveys. However, student survey results reveal concerns regarding school cleanliness, fair conflict resolution, and the prevalence of bullying and physical fights. Some reports have also noted past issues with facility conditions and communication between leadership and staff. The school offers performing arts, including dance and violin, and provides an after-school program and sports for middle school students.
