At a Glance
A PK-12 school where nearly every student has an IEP — a small, full-spectrum community built around individual learning plans.
Best suited for
Families of children with IEPs who want a single PK–12 community and value a small, individualized setting over a traditional general-education environment.
What stands out
- Serves the full PK through 12 age range in a single building — an unusually wide span for a public school.
- 98% of students have IEPs, making this a setting designed around individualized education plans rather than a typical zoned school.
- Zero suspensions — behavior is handled through support rather than removal.
- 100% of teachers rate the quality of instruction highly, well above the district average.
- A small, tight-knit feel with 428 students spread across 14 grade levels.
Things to consider
- This is a specialized setting — families seeking a traditional general-education zoned school should look elsewhere.
- Family survey response was only 13%, so the parent satisfaction data reflects a small slice of the broader school community.
- No traditional proficiency data is available, making academic outcomes hard to benchmark against neighborhood peers.
- The school is an 8-to-10-minute walk from the nearest subway, which matters in winter weather.
Based on 2024-25 data
School SummaryDistrict 11
District 11's strongest performers — Icahn Charter 4, Bronx Charter for Excellence 2, and Bronx Charter for Excellence — are all general-education charters scoring 93–96/100; P.S. 723 serves a fundamentally different population and isn't measured on the same scale.
Academics
Standardized proficiency figures aren't part of this dataset, so it's hard to benchmark against the district's 57% ELA and 56% math averages. What does come through clearly is the staff's own read on the work: 100% of teachers rate the quality of instruction highly, well above the district average of 92%, and 97% report strong trust in their principal — a sign of a stable, internally coherent academic environment.
Culture
Teachers report extremely high trust in their principal (97%) and full marks for instructional quality (100%), pointing to a collaborative, well-supported staff culture. Parent satisfaction lands at 88% — solid but below the district's 93% average — though the family survey response rate was just 13%, so those voices reflect a thin slice of the wider community. With zero suspensions reported, the school handles behavior through individualized supports rather than removals, which fits the population it serves.
Community
The student body is 54% Hispanic and 37% Black, with smaller shares of White (7%), Asian (1%), and Native American (1%) students — broadly mirroring the surrounding Eastchester-Edenwald-Baychester neighborhood, where median household income sits around $71,000 and about 27% of adults hold a bachelor's degree. With 98% of students carrying IEPs, this is not a typical zoned school; families often choose it for its specialized programming rather than by address alone.
Neighborhood
Eastchester-Edenwald-Baychester is a middle-income section of the eastern Bronx where 42% of households own their homes and the typical home is valued around $543,000. About 16% of households include children, and just over a quarter of adults have a bachelor's degree or higher. The 5 train ties the area into the rest of the borough and the subway system at large.
Families reach the school on foot from the Eastchester–Dyre Av (5) station in about 8 minutes, or from Baychester Av (5) in about 10.

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.
