At a Glance
A Pre-K through 12 special education school in a tight-knit, car-dependent stretch of the East Bronx
Best suited for
Families whose child has an IEP recommending this specific program and who value a calm, highly-trusted school community with individualized support — and who can navigate getting there without the subway.
What stands out
- Serves the full Pre-K through 12 age range under one roof — rare for any public school.
- 100% of students have IEPs, meaning every classroom is built around individualized support.
- Zero suspensions recorded — a notably calm climate given a high economic need index of 90.3%.
- Parent trust scores (97% teacher, 98% principal, 100% strong relationships) are near the very top of the city.
- Average class size of 22.6 — meaningfully lower than the typical high school — given how individualized instruction needs to be here.
Things to consider
- This is a special education school by enrollment (100% IEP), so it's the right fit only for families whose children have been recommended for placement here — not a general-neighborhood option.
- The 13-grade-span means older students share a building with Pre-K classmates, which shapes the social environment in unusual ways.
- Teacher-rated instructional quality is 80%, well below the district's 88% — worth asking about during a visit.
- No subway within a 20-minute walk, so commuting here usually means a bus, car, or arranged transportation.
- Standardized proficiency scores aren't reported in the same way as general-ed schools, making it harder to benchmark against neighborhood peers.
Based on 2024-25 data
School SummaryDistrict 8
District 8's peer schools include well-known charter options like Success Academy - Bronx 4 scoring 96/100, but P.S. X010 sits in a different lane entirely — a district special-education placement serving students across the full K-12 spectrum rather than a general-education neighborhood school.
Academics
Standardized proficiency data isn't reported for this school in the way it is for general-education peers, so a direct comparison to the district's 46% ELA and 48% math averages isn't possible. What can be read: teachers rate instructional quality at 80% — meaningfully below the district average of 88% — which can reflect the inherent complexity of teaching students across 13 grade levels under one roof, not necessarily weaker practice. Parent trust in the classroom experience remains very high.
Culture
Parent-side survey numbers are striking: 100% of families say there's strong relationships between staff and students, 97% trust the teachers, and 98% trust the principal — well above what most schools post. Teacher-reported safety is 91%, edging out the district average of 89%, and the school recorded zero suspensions. Teachers' view of instructional quality is lower (80% vs. district's 88%), and teacher-principal trust sits at 87%, suggesting staff find the work demanding but parents feel heard and safe.
Community
The student body is 60% Hispanic, 29% Black, 5% White, and 4% Asian — broadly in step with Throgs Neck-Schuylerville, a neighborhood that's roughly a quarter Black, majority Hispanic, and about a quarter non-Hispanic White. With an economic need index of 90.3%, almost every family qualifies for additional support, and the school enrolls students from across a wide swath of the East Bronx and beyond who are placed here for special education services.
Neighborhood
Throgs Neck-Schuylerville is a quieter, more suburban-feeling pocket of the Bronx where 48% of households own their homes and the median home value is around $581,000 — solidly middle-class for the borough. Median household income is about $85,000, with a 15% poverty rate and a 26% rate of four-year college degrees. Just 18% of households have children under 18, so the school draws from a wider geography than its immediate blocks.
This school sits beyond a 20-minute walk of any subway station, so families almost certainly arrive by school bus, car, or van rather than transit.

District 75 is the city's citywide district for students with significant disabilities. 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.
