At a Glance

A charter elementary school serving grades 1-3 in the Williamsbridge-Olinville neighborhood, offering families a lottery-based alternative in District 11

Best suited for

Families seeking a structured, network-run charter school option in the east Bronx who want lottery-based admissions rather than zoned assignments, and who are comfortable with the longer school days and rigorous curriculum typical of the Success Academy model. Families who prioritize having academic performance data to compare may want to consider district schools or other charters with published scores.

What stands out
  • Charter school model with lottery-based admissions — no zoned assignment
  • Part of the Success Academy network, which emphasizes structured curriculum and extended school hours
  • Serves grades 1-3 (ages 6-9), providing early elementary focus
  • No zoned district assignment required — open to all District 11 families
Things to consider
  • No academic performance data available — parents cannot compare test scores to nearby schools
  • Extremely low family survey response rate (2%) means limited insight into parent satisfaction
  • Charter schools have longer school days and different calendar structures — not all families prefer this model
  • As a network school, curriculum and teaching methods are centrally determined — less local flexibility than district schools
  • The neighborhood has safety and environmental health concerns that some families may want to investigate further
  • No demographic or class-size data available to understand the student body composition

School SummaryDistrict 11

In District 11, this school competes with high-performing charter peers including Icahn Charter School 4 (rated 96/100), Bronx Charter School for Excellence 2 (94/100), and Bronx Charter School for Excellence (93/100). Without test score data, it's unclear how Success Academy - NYC 6 compares academically to these peers or to P.S. 096 Richard Rodgers (85/100). The charter sector in the Bronx generally performs well on state assessments, but each school varies.

AcademicsSteady

No state assessment data was available for this school at the time of reporting, making it difficult to directly compare academic performance against District 11 averages of 57% in ELA and 56% in Math. As a charter school, Success Academy follows a distinct curriculum model, but without proficiency data, parents cannot benchmark how students are performing relative to nearby district schools like P.S. 096 Richard Rodgers or the network's other Bronx campuses.

Culturemoderate

The school reports a teacher-reported safety rate of 95%, matching the District 11 average, suggesting teachers feel secure in the building. However, the family survey response rate was just 2% (1 response), which is far too low to draw meaningful conclusions about parent perception, trust, or satisfaction. The district average for parent satisfaction sits at 93%, but this cannot be attributed to this specific school. Teacher instruction quality is reported at 92.4% district-wide, which may reflect the network's emphasis on teacher development, though again, school-specific data would be needed for certainty.

Community

Demographic data for this school was not available at the time of reporting. The Williamsbridge-Olinville neighborhood has a median household income of $55,609, with 31.4% homeownership and 14.1% of households containing children. The area has a poverty rate of 22.5% and a BA+ education rate of just 20.5%, suggesting a working-class to middle-income community.

NeighborhoodWilliamsbridge-Olinville
