Stevenson Campus (ALC)

1980 LAFAYETTE AVENUE

At a Glance

An alternative 6-12 campus in Soundview-Clason Point, where one roof covers middle school through senior year

Best suited for

Older students or teens who need a non-traditional pathway — credit recovery, transfer support, or a smaller setting — and whose families can handle a longer commute via bus or car from the 6 train.

What stands out

  • Spans grades 6-12 under one roof — a rare configuration that gives students continuity across the full adolescent stretch
  • Operates as an ALC, typically designed around credit recovery, transfer, or non-traditional pathways rather than the standard comprehensive model
  • Class size of 22.6 matches the District 8 average, so students aren't squeezed by overcrowding
  • Sits in a quieter, less family-dense corner of the Bronx than many District 8 neighborhoods

Things to consider

  • Standard performance metrics aren't reported in the usual way for this campus, so comparing it to other District 8 schools requires asking direct questions about graduation and re-engagement outcomes
  • All three nearby subway stations are 18-19 minute walks — getting here without a car or bus is a real commute
  • District 8 includes very high-performing charters like Success Academy Bronx 4, so families choosing an alternative setting should weigh that deliberately against the more traditional options nearby
  • The 6-12 grade span means older and younger teens share the same building — worth asking how the school manages that mix
  • The neighborhood is renter-majority with relatively few school-age children, so fewer local peer families may be walking by the school each morning

Based on 2023-24 data

School SummaryDistrict 8

District 8 spans a wide range of school types — from Success Academy Bronx 4 at the very top to several PS elementary schools in the 60s — so this alternative campus occupies a distinct niche serving students for whom the traditional comprehensive model hasn't been the right fit.

Academics

Limited data

Class sizes of 22.6 land right at the District 8 average of 22.5, so students here get comparable adult-to-student ratios to peers across the district. As an alternative 6-12 campus, outcomes tend to be measured by credit recovery, re-engagement, and graduation pathways rather than by the same annual state proficiency benchmarks used at traditional schools.

Culture

Limited data

Standard climate surveys aren't reported in the typical format for this alternative campus, so day-to-day feel is harder to read than at a traditional District 8 school — parents will want to ask directly about attendance patterns, family communication, and the discipline approach. The alternative-school format usually translates into smaller, more individualized cohorts than a comprehensive high school, which can mean more one-on-one attention but also fewer peer benchmarks.

Community

Specific student-body demographics aren't broken out in the available data, but the surrounding Soundview-Clason Point neighborhood provides useful context: a $64,402 median household income, 21.8% poverty rate, and renter-majority housing where only 28% of households own. The fact that just 13.6% of households include children suggests fewer school-age kids locally than in many other Bronx pockets — so the student body likely includes neighborhood residents alongside teens placed here from across the borough for its alternative setting.

Neighborhood

Soundview-Clason Point

Soundview-Clason Point is a working-class, mostly renter neighborhood on the eastern edge of the Bronx — median household income around $64,400 sits well below the citywide average, and only about 22% of local adults hold a bachelor's degree. Housing is overwhelmingly rental, and the relatively low share of households with children makes it less family-dense than many other parts of the borough.

All three nearest subway stops are on the 6 line — Parkchester, Castle Hill Avenue, and St Lawrence Avenue — each requiring about an 18-19 minute walk from campus, so a bus, car, or yellow bus service is realistically needed for most families.
