High School of Computers and Technology

Academic performance data was not provided in this dataset, so I can’t speak to test score trends or proficiency rates. However, the school offers AP Courses and a STEM-focused program with program richness rated at 77/100 — above average for the district. Class sizes average 23.8 students, matching the district average exactly.

The survey results are remarkable. Parent satisfaction sits at 98% — well above the district average of 93%. Teacher instruction quality scores 99%, and the trust metrics across the board are extraordinary: 98% parent-teacher trust, 99% parent-principal trust, and 99% teacher-principal trust. Teacher collegial trust is 95%. There were zero suspensions reported, which is notably lower than the district average suspension rate. The family survey response rate of 59% is solid, though teacher responses were limited (38 teachers). The day-to-day feel here appears to be one where families feel heard, teachers feel supported, and discipline is handled in ways that don’t remove students from the building.

With 501 students, this is a mid-sized high school. The demographics are predominantly Hispanic (50%) and Black (36%), reflecting the surrounding neighborhood’s composition. The diversity index of 62% is moderate. Notably, 28% of students have IEPs — a meaningful population requiring special education services. The economic need index of 83.4% indicates that nearly all students come from economically disadvantaged households. This is a school where families are invested — as evidenced by the high survey response rate and satisfaction numbers — despite significant financial pressures at home.

Williamsbridge-Olinville is a working-class Bronx neighborhood with a family density score of 64.75 (high for the city). The poverty rate is 22.5%, and only 20.5% of residents have a BA+ education — well below city averages. However, the neighborhood scores high on stability (85.06) and has a median home value of $518,473, suggesting a community of long-term residents who own homes despite modest incomes. The safety score is low (18.39 percentile), which is a reality for families here. Transit access is moderate (41.38). The neighborhood has a lower proportion of households with children (14.1%) than many family areas, but those who are here are invested in their community.

The school draws from across District 11, and families likely rely on bus routes and the subway to get here given the moderate transit score.
