Leaders of Tomorrow

Leaders of Tomorrow is a Bronx middle school serving grades 6-8, focused on developing students as learners and young people. The school emphasizes technology integration in academic, art, and music classes, and cultivates "Habits of Curiosity, Clarity, Community, and Commitment" through its advisory program and incentives. Parents express high satisfaction with the school, reflected in overwhelmingly positive survey responses. The school also maintains a strong attendance rate, performing at the 75th percentile citywide. However, academic proficiency in both ELA and Math is a significant concern, with scores falling below the 25th percentile across the city. Student survey results indicate mixed perceptions of school climate; while many students feel safe in common areas, a notable percentage report issues with bullying, physical fights, and gang activity. The school offers a variety of sports and after-school programs, including robotics, flight simulation, and visual arts, alongside numerous field trips, with high-achieving 8th graders invited on a trip to Washington D.C. The school serves a population with high economic need, and has been noted for showing promise under new leadership after a merger of two prior schools. There is a proposal to expand the school to serve grades 6-12 in the future.
