Careers in Sports High School

Specific ELA, math, and science proficiency scores aren't included in this brief, so the academic picture is partial. What we can see: the school offers AP courses alongside ELL support and Spanish, with a program richness score of 67/100 sitting in the middle of the range. With a 10.8x oversubscription rate, families clearly find something worth choosing here, but the absence of proficiency numbers means parents should ask the school directly for current performance data before deciding.

The climate data is the strongest signal in this profile. Teachers rate instructional quality at 100% — well above the district average of 88% — and 99% trust their principal, suggesting a coherent, well-led environment. Parent satisfaction (94%) and parent-principal trust (96%) edge above district averages, and the school recorded zero suspensions against a district average of 0.84% — a striking figure worth weighing carefully given the small teacher survey sample of just 21 respondents.

The student body is 69% Hispanic, 27% Black, 2% White, and 1% Native American, with a diversity index of 41% — meaningfully more concentrated than the citywide average. Thirty percent of students have IEPs, substantially higher than typical, which can reflect either stronger inclusion practices or a higher-need population (likely both). The neighborhood's median household income sits around $40,255 with a 34% poverty rate and only 11% homeownership, so the school serves a working-class, renter-heavy community that closely matches its enrollment.

The school sits in Concourse-Concourse Village, a working-class South Bronx neighborhood steps from Yankee Stadium, where about 34% of households live below the poverty line and the median household income is just over $40,000. Only 13.7% of households have children and just 11% are owner-occupied — a young, renter-heavy area. About 16% of adults here hold a bachelor's degree, shaping both the resources families bring and the supports the school has learned to provide.

Most students likely arrive on the 2, 5, or 4 train at 149 St–Grand Concourse (a 7–8 minute walk) or via the B/D at 161 St–Yankee Stadium (about 10 minutes on foot).
