Bronx Delta School

Bronx Delta's ELA proficiency of 58.4% and math proficiency of 50.6% both sit above District 8 averages (46.2% and 48.0% respectively), and the school's overall score of 2.18 outpaces the district's 1.88. The upward trend is notable — ELA climbed from 40% in 2018 to 58.4% in 2025, with math following a similar trajectory despite a dip in 2022. Grade 3 performs strongest with 60% ELA and 61% math proficiency, while Grade 5 math drops to 42.1%, suggesting the school may need to focus on building advanced math skills in upper grades.

The survey data reveals a school where relationships are strong but instruction quality perception lags slightly behind. Parents report near-universal trust in teachers (96%) and the principal (97%), and 96% say their children have strong relationships at school. Teachers report feeling highly safe (98%, well above the district average of 89%). However, teacher instruction quality scores at 81% fall below the district average of 88%, and teacher-principal trust sits at 79%. The attendance picture is concerning — chronic absenteeism at 62.1% means most students miss significant school time, with rates highest among Hispanic students (60.1%) and Asian students (71.4%). On a positive note, suspensions are zero.

The PTA raised $44 per student ($17,631 total) in 2024-25, slightly above the district average of $16.64 per student, suggesting active family involvement.

Throgs Neck-Schuylerville is a stable, family-oriented Bronx neighborhood with a homeownership rate of 48.4% and a median household income of $85,113 — figures that suggest a solid middle-class base.
