Careers in Sports High School

Careers in Sports High School, serving grades 9-12 in the Bronx, aims to prepare students for college and careers, particularly in sports-related fields. The school is known for its supportive environment, with parents and students frequently praising the dedication of teachers and staff who are described as caring and committed to student success. The school occupies an attractive building on the nine-acre Mott Haven Educational Campus, featuring a large football field and a wide array of PSAL sports teams for both boys and girls. Academically, the school offers a college-preparatory curriculum that includes opportunities to explore sports careers through extracurricular college-level classes, mentoring, clubs, community service, and internships. However, some students express a desire for more challenging coursework and a greater selection of advanced placement classes. The 4-year graduation rate of 69% and college enrollment rate of 38.8% are both well below citywide medians. Regents exam pass rates are strong in US History and Global History, but significantly lower in mathematics and some sciences. While students generally report feeling safe, survey results indicate areas for improvement regarding student-on-student harassment, physical altercations, and substance use.
