I love Bronx Community Charter School! The staff is very accessible and receptive to parent input. Every classroom has two teachers which allows them to individualize instruction more effectively. I am a teacher in the Bronx and I have seen first hand how bad schools in this community can be. This school really is not only committed to academic excellence but to creating a nurturing community for teachers, parents and students. It is a very special place.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 New York used the New York State Assessments to test students in grades 3 through 8 in English language arts and math, and in grades 4 and 8 in science. The results for English language arts and math are displayed on GreatSchools profiles and the science results will be added when they are released in the Fall of 2013. The tests are standards-based, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of New York. The goal is for 90% of students to meet or exceed grade-level standards on the tests.
