Capital Preparatory Bronx Charter School

Specific ELA and math proficiency scores weren't available for this profile, but the most distinctive academic feature is structural: 243 students spread across grades 6 through 12, including a 12th-grade class, means class sizes are small enough for genuine individualized attention, and students don't face the disruption of switching schools for high school. The economic need index of 57 (out of 100) suggests a middle-of-the-pack need profile.

The climate picture is mixed. Parent satisfaction at 79% trails the district's 93% by a wide margin — families here are notably less bullish than families in neighboring schools. Teacher-to-principal trust is the softest spot at 72%, even as teacher-to-teacher collegiality is healthy at 85% and 88% of teachers rate their peers' instruction quality as strong. Teacher-reported safety and discipline data weren't reported, and with only 26 teachers in the survey pool, all of these reads should be taken as suggestive rather than definitive.

The student body is 82% Black, with smaller shares of Hispanic (10%), White (2%), and Asian (1%) students — a profile that aligns closely with Co-op City's longstanding demographics. Ten percent of students have IEPs, and the economic need index of 57 sits in the moderate range, consistent with a neighborhood where most adults work and many own their homes through the co-op structure.

Co-op City is one of New York's most recognizable residential developments — a cooperatively-owned housing complex where high homeownership (44%), low turnover, and a substantial senior population are defining features. Median household income sits around $58,500 with a poverty rate of just under 11%, putting the area above many Bronx neighborhoods on economic indicators. Only about 12% of households have children, which is well below the city average and reflects the community's older age skew; the median home value of roughly $30,000 reflects co-op share pricing rather than traditional real estate.

The 5 train at Eastchester-Dyre Av or Baychester Av is about a 13-minute walk either way — at the edge of what most families consider a comfortable walk, especially for middle schoolers. Many families will likely drive, take the BxM express bus, or rely on school transportation.
