United Charter High School for Advanced Math and Science

Academic performance data was not provided for this school, making it difficult to assess student achievement trends relative to the district. However, the school shares the same average class size as the district (22.9 students), and teacher-reported instruction quality averages 95% — above the district average of 91%.

The school's climate data is remarkably strong across nearly all dimensions. Parents report near-universal satisfaction (97%) and extremely high trust in both teachers (98%) and the principal (98%). Teachers rate instruction quality highly at 95%, and teacher-principal trust sits at 91%, with teacher collegial trust at 85%. The family survey response rate of 84% suggests strong parent engagement with the school community. These numbers indicate a school where families feel heard and teachers feel supported.

The school serves 479 students in a predominantly Hispanic (57%) and Black (37%) community, with very low Asian (2%) and White (2%) representation. The diversity index of 51% reflects this primarily two-race demographic. Ten percent of students have IEPs, slightly below what might be expected given the 82% economic need index — a measure of student hardship. The community is largely working-class, with a 27.7% poverty rate and only 16.8% homeownership, suggesting most families rent and may be price-sensitive about educational choices.

Kingsbridge-Marble Hill is a densely populated Bronx neighborhood with strong transit access (79th percentile) but significant safety concerns — the safety score of 21 out of 100 is notably low. The area has a high stability score (82) indicating long-term residents, but a low family density score (52) matching the census data showing only 13.7% of households have children. Health environment concerns include elevated asthma rates and some lead risk indicators. The median home value of $603,293 reflects New York City's tight housing market, though median household income is a modest $53,729.

Families likely rely on public transit given the strong transit score — this is a well-connected area for commuters, though the safety concerns may prompt parents to accompany younger or newer students.
