Stevenson Campus (ALC)

1980 LAFAYETTE AVENUE

At a Glance

An alternative campus serving older students across multiple grades in a stable but safety-conscious neighborhood

Best suited for

Families seeking an alternative educational path for students who need flexibility, credit recovery, or a non-traditional high school experience — particularly those living in or near Soundview-Clason Point who want a shorter commute. This campus works best for families who prioritize staying in District 8 and value a school where parent satisfaction is high despite the alternative model.

What stands out
  • Serves grades 6-12 under one roof, accommodating families with multiple children at different stages
  • Wide grade span allows older students to mentor younger ones and creates a community feel
  • Strong parent satisfaction (93%) for an alternative learning environment
  • Small class sizes comparable to district average (22.6 students)
Things to consider
  • No academic performance data available — parents should request recent state test results and graduation rates directly
  • Wide age range (6-12) means older and younger students share facilities, which may not suit all families
  • Neighborhood safety scores are below average — families should visit during school hours to assess comfort
  • Transit access is limited — families need reliable transportation
  • Very low education orientation in the neighborhood (19.92) suggests this isn't a highly academically-focused community

Based on 2024 data

School SummaryDistrict 8

Among District 8 peer schools, ALC - Stevenson Campus doesn't appear in the comparative rankings shown alongside charter and traditional schools (Success Academy at 96, Icahn at 75, Grand Concourse at 71). This is an alternative learning center with a different mission than standard schools — it's designed to serve students who haven't succeeded in traditional settings, so direct performance comparisons may be misleading.

AcademicsSteady

Academic performance data was not reported for this school, making it difficult to directly assess student achievement compared to district averages of 46% in ELA and 48% in Math. As an alternative learning center serving grades 6-12, this campus likely enrolls students who are credit-deficient or seeking a non-traditional path to graduation, which means test score comparisons to standard district schools may not tell the full story.

Culturemoderate

Teacher-reported safety stands at 89%, nearly matching the district average, while instruction quality scores 88% — suggesting teachers feel supported in their classrooms despite the alternative setting. Parent satisfaction at 93% indicates families find value in what this campus provides. The suspension rate mirrors the district average at 0.63%, pointing to a discipline approach that keeps students in class.

Community

This alternative campus serves a wide age range from middle school through high school, meaning student body composition varies significantly depending on which grades are currently enrolled. The Soundview-Clason Point neighborhood shows only 14% households with children, suggesting this area is more weighted toward seniors and young professionals than families with school-age kids — a pattern reflected in the student population.

NeighborhoodSoundview-Clason Point

Soundview-Clason Point offers reasonable stability with a high score of 74, but parents should know safety metrics show concerns: crime density and housing violations both register above city averages, and the neighborhood scores just 42 out of 100 on safety. Education orientation is notably low at 20, meaning families seeking a highly education-focused community may want to look elsewhere. Transit access at 46 is below average, so families relying on public transportation should factor this in.

Families typically commute to this campus by bus or car, as the neighborhood's transit score suggests limited subway access — parents should plan for transportation logistics, especially for younger students.
