Amber Charter School Kingsbridge

Amber Charter School Kingsbridge is a K-5 elementary charter school in the Bronx, known for its commitment to academic excellence and character development. Founded as the first Latino-led charter school in New York State, it serves a large student body with a focus on nurturing young minds. The school demonstrates strong academic performance, with both ELA and Math proficiency rates above the citywide median. It also boasts a better-than-median regular attendance rate. Parents frequently commend the dedicated teachers, strong communication, and a supportive environment where children thrive. The curriculum includes consistent Spanish instruction for all students, alongside enrichment programs in visual arts, music, physical education, and technology, with students having access to 1:1 Chromebooks. While the school emphasizes a rigorous core academic experience, its accelerated coursework percentage is notably low. A potential concern is the school's suspension rate, which is higher than the citywide average for elementary schools.
