Schuylerville Preparatory High School

Formal state proficiency data is not in the picture here, so the academic read comes from program design rather than test scores. The school offers AP Courses alongside ELL Support and a Humanities track, with a program richness score of 70 out of 100 — solid but not exceptional. Class size of 23.8 matches the district average, so students aren't getting smaller pods than peers elsewhere in District 11. The "Preparatory" branding and AP offerings signal an older-grade push toward college readiness, which fits a school whose oldest students are 8th graders, not high schoolers.

Zero suspensions is a real standout — there is no discipline data to flag here. Parents give the principal high marks (93% trust, 89% satisfaction), slightly above the district norm of ~93% satisfaction, and parent-teacher trust sits at 91%. The gap that catches the eye is between parent trust in leadership (93%) and teacher trust in leadership (71%) — a 22-point spread that suggests teachers feel less aligned with the principal than families do. With only 20 teachers responding to the survey, that 71% should be taken as a signal, not a verdict.

The student body is 60% Hispanic, 21% Black, 10% White, and 7% Asian — broadly representative of the Bronx and more Latino-skewed than many District 11 schools. A 64% diversity index reflects real mixing across racial and ethnic lines. The 83.3 economic need index tells you that most families here qualify for free or reduced lunch, which tracks with the neighborhood's median household income of $85,113 and 14.9% poverty rate. With 21% of students on IEPs and robust ELL support, this is a school built for a wide range of learners, not a narrow academic profile.

Throgs Neck-Schuylerville is a stable, mostly-renter-and-owner Bronx neighborhood with a median home value around $581,000 and near-even homeownership. About a fifth of households include children, and roughly a quarter of adults have a bachelor's degree — a solidly working- and middle-class profile. The area has a residential, block-by-block feel rather than a commuter hub, which matches the school's K-8 character. Families here tend to put down roots, and the school seems to draw from that stable base.

Three stations on the 6 train serve the school: Westchester Square–East Tremont Ave is a 4-minute walk, Middletown Rd is about 7 minutes, and Zerega Ave is around 10 minutes — making this one of the more transit-accessible elementary/middle options in the area.
