United Charter High School for the Humanities

Academic proficiency data is not provided for this school, making it difficult to assess how students are performing against district benchmarks. The district averages for District 10 are 45% ELA and 43.5% Math proficiency. Without this school's specific test scores, parents should note that the absence of data means there's no clear evidence of strong academic outcomes compared to peer schools.

The survey data tells a complicated story. Families are overwhelmingly satisfied — 99% report satisfaction, and nearly all parents express trust in teachers (98%) and the principal (99%). However, only 76% of teachers rate instruction quality as good or very good, compared to the district average of 91.4%. Teacher-principal trust sits at 83%, and collegial trust among teachers is 84%. With only 15 teacher survey responses, these numbers carry significant caveats, but they suggest a gap between family perception and educator experience. The school does not report suspension rates, so discipline trajectory cannot be assessed.

The student body is predominantly Hispanic (65%) and Black (34%), with nearly all students coming from high-need backgrounds — the economic need index of 84.1% is well above typical district averages. Sixteen percent of students have IEPs. The diversity index of 42% reflects a relatively homogeneous student population, which aligns with the neighborhood demographics. With 539 students across grades 9-12 plus special education, this is a mid-sized high school. The neighborhood has a low homeownership rate (17%) and a modest college education rate (30.5%), suggesting most families are renters with varied educational backgrounds.

Kingsbridge-Marble Hill is a transit-rich but safety-conscious neighborhood in the Bronx. It scores high on transit accessibility (79th percentile) and stability (82nd percentile), but low on safety (21st percentile) — crime density is notably elevated, and the asthma emergency department rate is high at 75.5 per 1,000. The area is predominantly rental (83% renters), with a median home value around $603,000 and median household income of $53,729. Only 14% of households have children under 18, making this a neighborhood with fewer families with school-age children than many other parts of the Bronx.

The area is highly walkable with strong subway and bus connections — the 79th percentile transit score reflects excellent options for getting to school without a car. Families typically walk or take public transit.
