T. Roosevelt Evening Hs M/W

500 EAST FORDHAM ROAD

At a Glance

An evening high school on Fordham Road offering a flexible path to a diploma

Best suited for

Older students and young adults who need a flexible schedule to finish their diploma — particularly those working during the day, parents, or anyone who struggled in a traditional daytime high school. Families should be comfortable with the Fordham Road commute and an evening-only commitment.

What stands out

  • Evening schedule meeting Mondays and Wednesdays, designed for students balancing work or family commitments
  • Zero suspensions — a notably calm environment by the numbers
  • Class size matches the District 10 average of about 23 students
  • Location on Fordham Road with multiple subway lines within walking distance

Things to consider

  • Evening-only schedule limits access to sports, clubs, and the typical high school extracurricular experience
  • Standardized test data isn't part of the available picture, so academic performance is hard to evaluate from outside
  • Located in a working-class neighborhood with limited local amenities compared to wealthier parts of the Bronx
  • Most peer schools in District 10 are elementary programs, which limits useful comparisons

Based on 2024-2025 data

School SummaryDistrict 10

District 10 covers a wide swath of the western and central Bronx, including Belmont, Fordham, and Kingsbridge — but the schools most often cited as peers are elementary programs like P.S. 081 and P.S. 024, not other high schools. T. Roosevelt Evening occupies a unique niche in the district as one of the few nontraditional scheduling options available.

Academics

Steady

Standardized proficiency data isn't part of the available picture, so academic outcomes are hard to read from numbers alone — the focus for evening programs like this tends to be credit recovery and graduation rather than test performance. Class size of 22.9 students matches the District 10 average almost exactly, meaning students aren't getting notably smaller or larger groups than peers elsewhere in the district.

Culture

moderate

Zero suspensions over the reporting period stands out as notably low — well below the District 10 average. Evening programs tend to attract students who've chosen to be there, which often translates to a calmer environment, though the absence of survey data on trust, safety, or instruction quality makes the full picture harder to assess from the numbers alone.

Community

Evening high schools draw students from across the Bronx rather than a tight catchment area, so the student body tends to reflect the borough's diversity more than any single neighborhood. Belmont itself is a working-class, predominantly renter community — one of the more densely populated parts of the Bronx, with a median household income around $33,000 and a poverty rate approaching 38%.

Neighborhood

Belmont

Belmont is a working-class Bronx neighborhood built up around the Fordham Road commercial corridor, with most residents renting rather than owning and a poverty rate approaching 38%. Only about 11% of households have children at home and roughly 13% of adults hold a bachelor's degree — a community shaped more by longtime residents and recent immigrants than by young families. The neighborhood sits along one of the Bronx's busiest commercial strips, with retail and transit concentrated on Fordham Road itself.

The school is reachable from three nearby subway stations: Fordham Rd on the B and D lines about a 10-minute walk away, Kingsbridge Rd on the B and D lines about a 12-minute walk, and Kingsbridge Rd on the 4 line about 15 minutes away.
