At a Glance

An evening high school serving teens and young adults who need flexible scheduling — the only option of its kind in this part of the Bronx

Best suited for

Families with teens or young adults who need flexible school hours due to work, family responsibilities, or other circumstances that make traditional daytime attendance difficult. Parents who prioritize academic transparency and comparable test data may want to explore other District 11 options.

  • Serves grades 6-12, making it one of the few combined middle/high schools in the area

Things to consider
  • No academic performance data (ELA/Math proficiency) available — parents cannot compare to district averages
  • No attendance data provided, making it hard to gauge consistency
  • No survey data on school climate, teacher trust, or family satisfaction
  • Evening schedule may not suit all families' rhythms
  • Low neighborhood safety score (18.39) may be a concern
  • Serving grades 6-12 in one building means wide age ranges

School SummaryDistrict 11

Among District 11 peer schools — which include highly-rated charters like Icahn Charter School 4 (96/100) and Bronx Charter School for Excellence 2 (94/100) — this school does not appear in standard comparative rankings. Evening and alternative programs are evaluated differently and often don't appear in traditional school quality metrics.

AcademicsSteady

Academic performance data is not publicly reported for this school, which is typical for evening and alternative high school programs that serve students on non-traditional schedules. The lack of ELA and Math proficiency data means parents won't have the standard test score benchmarks to evaluate academic rigor against district averages.

Culturemoderate

The school reports zero suspensions, suggesting a discipline environment focused on attendance and engagement rather than exclusionary practices — important for a student population that may already face academic challenges. No survey data on teacher trust, family engagement, or perceived safety was available, which limits insight into day-to-day school culture.

Community

No demographic breakdown was available for this school's student body. The Williamsbridge-Olinville neighborhood has a moderate poverty rate of 22.5% and a lower-than-average rate of households with children (14.1%), which may reflect the student population's diverse family structures. The neighborhood's 20.5% college-educated adult population is below citywide averages.

NeighborhoodWilliamsbridge-Olinville

Williamsbridge-Olinville in the Bronx has a safety score of 18.39 — notably low compared to city averages — and families should factor this into their calculus. Transit access is moderate (41.38), and the neighborhood scores high on stability (85.06), indicating long-term residents. The area has elevated environmental health concerns, including above-average asthma rates and PM2.5 exposure. However, family density is relatively high (64.75), suggesting a community with children despite the low household-with-children rate.

The Gun Hill Road location is accessible by local bus routes, and families in this part of the Bronx typically commute by bus or car rather than walking — the area's safety score may be a consideration for families evaluating logistics.
