Success Academy Charter School - NYC 5

No state test data is available for this school as it serves only kindergarteners, who do not yet take standardized assessments. District 11's traditional schools show ELA proficiency averaging 57% and math at 56%, while nearby charter peers like Icahn Charter School 4 score in the 96th percentile statewide — suggesting the charter model has strong results in this area, though this specific site is too young to have its own trend data.

Survey data is essentially unavailable with only 2 family responses (a 2% response rate), making it impossible to draw reliable conclusions about parent sentiment, trust, or satisfaction. Teacher-reported safety in District 11 averages 95%, and teacher instruction quality ratings are strong at 92%, but this school lacks its own survey footprint. Families considering this option will need to connect directly to understand the day-to-day culture.

The school serves kindergarteners in a neighborhood where families with children are actually rare — only 14% of households have kids, well below typical family-dense areas. Twenty percent of adult residents have bachelor's degrees or higher, and median household income sits at $55,600. This suggests the school is positioned to serve a specific subset of families in an area that hasn't traditionally been heavily families-with-children, possibly attracting families from wider than the immediate area given the low local child population.

Williamsbridge-Olinville in the Bronx is a neighborhood of contradictions: high stability (85th percentile) and homeownership (31%) but very low safety scores (18th percentile) and limited transit access (41st percentile). The area shows environmental health concerns, with elevated lead rates and high asthma emergency department visit rates. Family resources are moderate, with an education orientation score of 43. Families considering this area should weigh the strong sense of community stability against real safety and environmental considerations.

Given the low transit score and safety concerns in the area, most families likely drive or get dropped off. The neighborhood's safety challenges mean parents may prefer driving rather than walking with young children, especially in evening or early morning hours.
