At a Glance
A hospital-based public school serving grades 6-12 in the Throgs Neck-Schuylerville area
Best suited for
Families whose children need educational continuity during a hospital stay — particularly those seeking instruction spanning middle and high school grades within the same program.
What stands out
- Hospital-based instruction for students in grades 6 through 12, allowing continuity across middle and high school years
- Class size in line with District 8 averages despite the specialized setting
- Serves a population that traditional neighborhood schools cannot accommodate
Things to consider
- Not a neighborhood zoned school — families don't enroll here the way they would a regular public school
- Standard academic, attendance, and climate metrics are not publicly reported, so it's harder to compare this setting to other schools on paper
- The location is not walkable to the subway, which matters for any family visiting independently
- Enrollment length is tied to medical stays, not the September-to-June school calendar
- Long-term peer comparison data with traditional schools isn't available
Based on 2023-2024 data
School SummaryDistrict 8
Among District 8 peer schools in the dataset, scores range from 66 to 96 out of 100, with charter and early-childhood schools anchoring the top of the list. Hospital schools sit outside this comparison framework because they serve a fundamentally different population and report on different measures, so a side-by-side ranking isn't really meaningful.
Academics
Standardized ELA and math proficiency data are not reported for this school, which is typical for hospital-based settings where students are enrolled for short or variable stays and standardized testing windows don't always align with their enrollment. With an average class size of 22.6 students — essentially the same as the District 8 average of 22.5 — the instructional scale mirrors what families would find in a typical Bronx middle or high school classroom.
Culture
Parent satisfaction, teacher instruction quality, teacher-reported safety, attendance, and suspension metrics are not reported for this school. Hospital schools operate under a different accountability framework than neighborhood schools, and the daily experience here is shaped by the medical setting — small, individualized instruction aligned with each student's treatment plan, with a fluid enrollment rather than a fixed community cohort.
Community
Because enrollment is drawn from the hospital's patient population rather than the surrounding blocks, the school community does not mirror the demographics of Throgs Neck-Schuylerville in the usual way. The neighborhood around the school is a working- and middle-class residential area where only 18% of households include children and the median household income sits around $85,000.
Neighborhood
Throgs Neck-Schuylerville is a residential Bronx neighborhood anchored by homeowners and long-time renters, with a poverty rate of about 15% and a college-degree rate of roughly 26% — slightly below the citywide figure. The block sits in a quieter, less transit-dense part of the borough where most families get around by car.
There is no subway right at the door — the nearest options are the Middletown Rd and Westchester Sq-E Tremont Av stations on the 6 line, each about a 20-minute walk. Most families likely arrive by car, shuttle, or medical transport rather than on foot.

In the DOE's words, it provides “highly specialized instructional support” for students with challenges such as autism, significant cognitive delays, emotional disabilities, sensory impairments and multiple disabilities.
Its classes run in schools where every student has an IEP, as special classes inside District 1–32 schools, in general education classrooms, and in agencies, hospitals and at home. The IEP team, which includes you, recommends the program and class size.
