Success Academy Charter School - NYC 5

No school-specific proficiency scores are available for this campus, so it's not possible to say how students here are performing on state ELA, math, or science tests relative to the district averages of roughly 57% ELA and 56% math proficiency. Success Academy as a network has historically posted strong results citywide, but those network-level numbers don't tell you what this specific building is doing. Parents should ask the school directly for current proficiency data before weighing it against district options.

The family survey response rate here is 2% — just two families responded — which is too little signal to draw conclusions about trust, satisfaction, or day-to-day feel. That kind of response rate usually signals weak outreach rather than a happy or unhappy parent body; either way, it means the survey dimension scores we'd normally interpret aren't meaningful here. Attendance and discipline data for the campus were not provided, so the climate picture is essentially blank.

School-level demographic data for this campus isn't available in what was provided, so the picture has to come from the neighborhood. Williamsbridge-Olinville is a working-class area with a 22.5% poverty rate and a BA+ attainment rate of just 20.5%, and only about 14% of households here have children under 18 — meaning families with school-age kids are a noticeable minority, not the default. Whoever attends this school is likely a mix of neighborhood families who won the lottery and parents who applied from elsewhere in the Bronx.

Williamsbridge-Olinville is a residential stretch of the eastern Bronx with a $55,609 median household income, a 22.5% poverty rate, and a homeownership rate of just 31.4% — most residents rent. The neighborhood skews working-class and family-rooted, though only 14% of households have kids, so families with school-age children are a meaningful but not dominant slice of the community. Getting around is car- and bus-dependent in spots, but the 2/5 line puts the school within easy reach.

Gun Hill Rd (2 5) is about a 3-minute walk, Burke Av (2 5) is about an 8-minute walk, and 219 St (2 5) is about an 11-minute walk — multiple stops on the same line give families real flexibility on drop-off and pickup.
