South Bronx Classical Charter School IV

Academic test scores were not provided in the data, making it difficult to assess absolute performance. However, the school ranks among the highest-performing peer schools in District 7 when compared to nearby charters like Leaders of Excellence (97/100), South Bronx Classical Charter School II (96/100), and Success Academy Bronx 1 (93/100). The absence of specific ELA and Math proficiency data means parents should seek out these metrics directly from the school to fully evaluate academic outcomes.

This is where the school truly shines. The culture and climate data reveals a community where trust runs high: 98% of parents trust teachers, 93% trust the principal, and 95% overall satisfaction places this school above the district average of 93.5%. Teachers report 90% instruction quality (above the 88.4% district average) and a striking 92% feeling safe at school — dramatically higher than the 80.5% district average. However, there are some internal tensions: teacher collegial trust sits at 73%, notably lower than other trust measures, and with only 20 teacher survey responses, these numbers carry less statistical weight. The family survey response rate of 36% with 132 responses provides reasonable parent perspective but may not represent all families.

The school draws from Concourse Village and surrounding South Bronx neighborhoods — an area with significant economic challenges. Median household income is $40,255 with a 34% poverty rate, and only 15.8% of residents have a bachelor's degree or higher. Homeownership is just 11.1%, reflecting a predominantly rental community. The neighborhood has a high family density score (77.39), indicating many families with children despite only 13.7% of households being classified as having children — likely a data definition issue, as the area feels very family-oriented. The student body reflects this community.

Concourse Village is a densely built neighborhood in the South Bronx with strong transit connections (66.67 score) and high family density (77.39). However, the safety score of 2.68 is extremely low — reflecting the reality of a neighborhood with elevated crime density and environmental health concerns (lead elevated rate of 15.2% and high asthma rates at 75.5 per 1,000). The education orientation score of 32.18 suggests this isn't a neighborhood defined by educational resources, yet the presence of multiple high-performing charter schools indicates demand from families. Stability is high at 72.41, suggesting long-term residents.

The area is urban and walkable, with strong transit access. Families living in the immediate Concourse Village and surrounding South Bronx neighborhoods can walk, while those from farther afield likely rely on public transportation given the 66.67 transit score.
