District 9 Schools
Families in District 9 will find a mix of traditional public schools and charter options, with no private schools in the area. The district leans heavily on its public school infrastructure while offering charter alternatives for those seeking them. Academic programs include ELL support at many schools, world language options at about a quarter of schools, and AP coursework at nearly 20 schools across the district. STEM and humanities programs are more limited in availability. State test scores hover around the mid-point for the city, and daily attendance runs at about 90% — decent but with room to grow. The middle school landscape is relatively well-stocked compared to some Bronx districts, though high school options increasingly require navigating SHSAT prep or audition-based admissions.
