A universal pre-K center serving youngest learners in a high-need Bronx neighborhood
Families with 3- and 4-year-olds living in the Claremont Village area who want a structured pre-K program and are comfortable navigating the neighborhood's safety and environmental realities. Parents should be prepared to research elementary school options once their child ages out of pre-K.
- Universal pre-K access in a neighborhood with few early childhood options
- Serves 3K and pre-K (ages 3-4), focusing on early school readiness
- Located in a high-need community where early education investments can have significant impact
- Safety concerns in the neighborhood rank in the lowest percentile citywide — families should visit and assess comfort level
- Very limited survey data (only 2 teacher responses) means little is publicly known about school culture
- Environmental health concerns in the area (asthma rates, lead exposure) may be a consideration for families with health-sensitive children
- No K-12 academics to evaluate — this is purely an early childhood program
- The school does not serve grades beyond pre-K, so families will need to navigate elementary school placement separately

School SummaryDistrict
Ready Set Learn is a standalone pre-K center in the Bronx, not directly comparable to K-12 schools in district performance rankings. Its value lies in providing early childhood education access in an underserved neighborhood.
As a pre-K center, Ready Set Learn does not participate in state ELA or math assessments. There are no proficiency scores to evaluate — this is an early childhood program focused on school readiness rather than academic benchmarks.
The school climate data is extremely limited, with only 2 teacher survey responses on file, making it difficult to draw reliable conclusions about trust, safety, or instructional quality. Parents should contact the school directly to understand the current day-to-day environment.
The school draws from a neighborhood where 44% of residents live below the poverty line and only 11.4% have a bachelor's degree or higher. With just 2.7% homeownership, nearly all families in this area are renters. The community is predominantly working-class families with limited resources — a context that makes early childhood programs like this one particularly valuable.
Claremont Village in the Bronx is a transit-friendly area (75th percentile for transit access) but faces significant challenges. Safety ranks in the 11th percentile citywide, and environmental health concerns are notable — asthma emergency department rates are high (75.5 per 1,000), and 15% of tested buildings show elevated lead levels. The area has limited parks and family resources compared to other parts of the city, though community ties are strong.
The neighborhood is walkable with good bus service, though many families likely rely on the subway or carpools given the area's car ownership rates.
