South Bronx Community Charter High School

South Bronx Community Charter School is a smaller charter high school in the Bronx, serving grades 9-12, with a mission to empower historically underserved students through an emphasis on academic, personal, and professional skills in a supportive and responsive learning environment. The school is known for its personalized, project-based learning approach and restorative practices, alongside a strong commitment to equity, inclusion, and community activism. Parent sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with families frequently praising the supportive environment, kind teachers, and helpful college and career preparation. However, academic outcomes present a concern, as the four-year graduation rate of 66.0% is significantly below citywide benchmarks, and Regents pass rates across subjects are low. The college enrollment rate of 56.0% is also below the citywide median. Student perceptions of safety are mixed; while many feel safe in common areas and with safety agents, a notable portion report experiencing bullying, physical altercations, and substance use. A distinctive feature is the use of single-gender advisory groups that remain together throughout all four years.
