High School of Computers and Technology

Specific proficiency scores aren't included in this snapshot, so academic standing has to be read through the school's other signals: a screened admissions process that admits only one in six applicants, an AP course offering, a defined STEM identity, and ELL support layered on top. The presence of AP Courses alongside ELL services is a meaningful combination for a screened high school — it tells you the school is built around college prep but doesn't forget about students who came in still building English. Average class size sits right at the district norm of 23.8, so families shouldn't expect unusually small classes as a built-in feature.

This is a remarkable climate picture. Parent satisfaction hits 98% against a district average of about 93%, and teacher-principal trust is at 99%. Not a single suspension was recorded — versus a district average suspension rate of roughly 0.49% — which puts the school in rare company. Teacher-rated instruction quality (99%) and teacher-collegial trust (95%) both land above district norms, suggesting classrooms feel well-supported and staff feel heard by leadership. One honest asterisk: only 38 teachers responded to the survey, so the staff-side numbers reflect a relatively small sample.

Roughly half of students identify as Hispanic and 36% as Black, with Asian students making up 7% and a smaller Native American population rounding things out. The diversity index sits at 62%, which is moderate — the school is racially and ethnically mixed but not as wide-ranging as some citywide averages. Twenty-eight percent of students have IEPs, which is higher than many screened high schools and signals a fairly robust special-education presence for a school that selects on admissions.

Williamsbridge-Olinville is a residential Bronx neighborhood where median household income is around $55,600 and roughly one in five households lives below the poverty line. Homeownership is on the lower side at 31%, and only about 20% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher. Just 14% of households include children, which is lower than many parts of the city, meaning many of the school's students likely commute in from outside the immediate area. Median home value sits around $518,000, which gives a sense of the housing stock in the area.

The school is most easily reached via the 2 and 5 trains — Gun Hill Rd is about a 7-minute walk, Burke Av about 8 minutes, and 219 St around 13 minutes
