District 7 Schools
District 7 operates nearly 80 schools split between traditional public and charter options, with charters making up more than a third of the landscape. Families will find ELL support at roughly a quarter of schools, while World Languages, AP courses, and STEM tracks offer pathways for older students. The academic profile sits around the city middle — state test proficiency hovers near fifty percent and attendance runs at about ninety-one percent — neither leading the pack nor trailing far behind. Middle school options are relatively thin in this part of the Bronx, and high schoolers largely compete for seats through SHSAT or specialized admissions.
