ST RAYMOND BOYS HIGH SCHOOL

A Catholic or faith-oriented family — especially one rooted in the Bronx — looking for an affordable, structured all-boys environment where their son will be known, challenged, and prepared for college.

• Tuition in the $8,300–$9,100 range makes it one of the more affordable private Catholic secondary schools in New York City.
• De LaSalle Lasallian tradition means faith, academics, and service are integrated into the daily school day rather than siloed.
• SmartBoards are in every classroom, giving the school a consistent baseline of instructional technology.
• Five AP classes give college-bound students a chance to challenge themselves, alongside a foreign language program and required community service.
• Accredited by the Board of Regents, Middle States, and the Brothers of the Christian Schools — unusual triple accreditation for a school of its size.

• It's an all-boys school — families who want a coed environment or are weighing it against coed options should weigh that deliberately.
• The Catholic identity is central, not nominal — daily religious instruction and faith formation are part of the deal.
• Five AP courses is a modest AP roster compared to larger or more resourced Catholic schools in the city; families chasing a heavy AP load may want to look closely at offerings.
• The Parkchester setting is honest and unglamorous — families should be comfortable with a working/middle-class Bronx neighborhood rather than a Manhattan-adjacent campus.
• Rolling admissions mean families can apply year-round, which helps with planning but removes the typical January deadline pressure.
