Providing Urban Learners Success In Education High School

No ELA or Math proficiency data is available for this school, making it difficult to assess academic outcomes compared to district averages (45% ELA, 44% Math). The absence of test score data means parents cannot easily benchmark this school against district peers — a significant information gap for families evaluating options.

The survey results are striking. Teachers rate instruction quality at 97% — well above the district average of 91% — and both teachers and parents report 100% trust in the principal. Parent satisfaction sits at 90%, slightly below the district average of 94%, though still strong. Every single teacher who responded (12 of them) reports trusting leadership completely. The zero suspension rate is notable in a district where the average is 0.28% — this school has clearly adopted a restorative, non-punitive approach to discipline. The low survey response rates (17% families, 12 teachers) make these results suggestive rather than definitive, but what exists is consistently positive.

The student body is predominantly Hispanic (66%) with significant Native American enrollment (20%) — likely reflecting the neighborhood's Caribbean and West Indian communities. One-quarter of students have IEPs, higher than many schools. Nearly all students (94.7%) come from economically disadvantaged households. The diversity index of 51% reflects a school that, while not racially diverse in traditional terms, serves a community with complex cultural backgrounds. Tremont itself has very few children in households (only 13.1%) and low homeownership (7.5%), meaning most families rent and many may be newly arrived.

Tremont is a dense, transit-accessible Bronx neighborhood with real challenges. Safety scores place it in the bottom 5th percentile citywide, with high crime density and collision rates. The area scores poorly on education orientation (35th percentile) and has high poverty (36%). However, it's a stable community (64th percentile stability) with decent transit options (60th percentile). The health environment showsconcerns — elevated lead rates and very high asthma-related emergency department visits (75.5 per 1,000). Families considering this school should know they're entering a neighborhood where community ties run deep but systemic stressors are present.

The neighborhood is walkable and transit-accessible, with moderate subway and bus options. Many families likely walk or take public transit, consistent with the low car ownership typical in this area.
