District 11 Pre-K Center

As a pre-K center, this school does not have state ELA or Math proficiency data to report — academic benchmarks for early learners are measured differently through developmental assessments rather than standardized tests. District 11's K-12 schools show mixed results, with charter school peers outperforming district schools significantly (ranging from 87-96 on state metrics), suggesting a competitive academic landscape.

Culture and climate data is not published for pre-K centers in the same way it is for K-12 schools. The district average for parent satisfaction runs at 93%, and teacher-reported safety at 95%, suggesting District 11 families generally feel heard and secure — though individual school experiences vary.

The Pelham Parkway-Van Nest neighborhood has a moderate poverty rate of 15.6% with a median household income of $72,625 — slightly below the citywide average but stable. Only 22.8% of residents own homes, meaning most families rent, which contributes to the neighborhood's moderate turnover. About 27.6% of residents hold bachelor's degrees, and 17% of households have children — a family-oriented but not predominantly child-focused community.

Pelham Parkway-Van Nest offers a mixed urban experience: strong transit scores (65/100) make commuting manageable, but safety scores are low (16/100) with elevated asthma rates and collision rates that reflect heavy traffic near major roads. The area has decent parks and is relatively stable (86/100), with homeownership low but not uncommon for this part of the Bronx. Lead exposure is a concern in older housing stock.

The neighborhood is walkable with decent sidewalk coverage, though traffic along White Plains Road and nearby major streets requires attention. Families typically walk or take short bus rides; the area is well-served by subway and bus lines connecting to the rest of the Bronx and Manhattan.
