Democracy Preparatory Endurance Charter School

Democracy Preparatory Endurance Charter School, serving grades 6-12 in the Bronx, operates with a mission to educate responsible citizen-scholars for college success and active citizenship. The school is housed in a modern facility on Westchester Avenue, sharing common areas like dining and play roofs with other Democracy Prep schools. Academically, middle school ELA proficiency is around the citywide median, but math proficiency is a concern, falling at the 25th percentile. For high school, the graduation rate is below the citywide 25th percentile, and Regents pass rates are generally low, particularly in math and science. College enrollment, however, is near the citywide median. Parents and students describe a strong academic focus on college preparation, with rigorous coursework and teachers offering extra support and Regents exam preparation. The school also offers AP courses and civic engagement opportunities. However, some sentiment points to concerns regarding staff professionalism, perceived unfairness in discipline, and limited funding for student activities. The school is recognized for its diverse student body.
