In-Tech Academy (M.S. / High School 368)

In-Tech Academy outperforms the District 10 average in both ELA (52.4% vs 45%) and math (44.2% vs 43.5%), with an overall quality score of 1.93 compared to the district's 1.77. The school's academic trajectory shows meaningful improvement over time — math has climbed from a low of 14.7% in 2017 to 44.2% in 2025, while ELA has more than doubled from 29.8% in 2016. Performance varies significantly by grade: 8th graders excel in ELA (65.1%) while 7th graders lead in math (61.6%), but 6th grade and 8th grade math scores lag behind.

The school shows a mixed picture on climate and culture. Parent satisfaction is strong at 90%, with families reporting high trust in teachers (91%) and the principal (92%). Teacher-rated instruction quality also hits 91%. However, internal trust metrics are lower — teacher-principal trust sits at 78% and teacher collegial trust at 77%, suggesting some disconnect between leadership and staff. Attendance is solid at 93.3% (above the district average), but chronic absenteeism is a serious issue at 77.4%, indicating many students miss significant school time despite being counted as present. Discipline has improved dramatically, with suspensions dropping from 12 in 2021-22 to just 2 in 2023-24, resulting in a 0% suspension rate.

The student body is predominantly Hispanic (86%) with significant Black (8%) and small White (4%) and Asian (2%) populations. This differs notably from the Riverdale-Spuyten Duyvil neighborhood, which is majority White (based on high-income, high-education demographics). The economic need index is high at 84%, with 23% of students having IEPs. The diversity index of 33% reflects a relatively homogeneous student population, though this is typical for many Bronx schools.

Riverdale-Spuyten Duyvil is one of the Bronx's most affluent and education-oriented neighborhoods, with a median household income of $112,815, only 7.4% poverty rate, and 62.3% of residents holding a bachelor's degree or higher. The area scores 86.97 on education orientation and 92.72 on stability, reflecting a family-friendly community. Safety scores moderate at 64.75, while transit access is limited (22.99), meaning most families likely drive or walk. Homeownership is high at 58.1%.

Given the lower transit score, families in this area typically drive or walk to school. The neighborhood's family-oriented character and stability make it pedestrian-friendly for those who live nearby.
