About
Success Academy Charter School - Bronx 3 is an elementary school serving grades K-5, recognized for its highly structured and academically rigorous environment. The school consistently achieves exceptional academic results, with ELA and Math proficiency rates well above citywide medians. As a charter school, it operates independently and admits students through a lottery process. Part of the Success Academy network, it implements a curriculum that blends traditional discipline with progressive teaching methods, emphasizing critical thinking, project-based learning, and a broad range of arts, chess, and athletic programs. While many parents commend the school for its strong academics and the significant progress their children make, some express concerns about a demanding, high-pressure atmosphere, strict disciplinary practices, and challenges with communication, particularly regarding special education services. The school serves a student body with a high proportion of economically disadvantaged students and maintains a 0% suspension rate.

Financials
[8]What this school has to spend, and what it spends it on. Spending is not a measure of quality. Schools serving more students with higher needs receive more money.
Charter schools manage their own budgets rather than receiving a school allocation from the DOE, so the staffing and supplies breakdown the DOE publishes for district schools is not published for this school.
