At a Glance
An evening transfer high school tucked into Gramercy, built for second chances rather than test-score rankings.
Best suited for
Older students who need flexible evening hours to finish high school — whether working during the day, raising children, returning after a gap, or recovering credits — and who can commute to Gramercy in the evening.
What stands out
- Evening transfer-and-returning model designed for students who need to recover credits or finish a diploma on a non-traditional schedule
- Zero suspensions reported — an unusually clean discipline record
- Direct access to three different subway lines within a four-minute walk
Things to consider
- This is not a typical neighborhood school — families should understand the transfer/evening program model before enrolling
- No state test proficiency, parent survey, or teacher survey data was available, so it's harder to benchmark against other schools
- The surrounding Gramercy census tract has very few households with children, so families moving in for the school address won't find a typical 'school district' neighborhood feel
- Class size is right at the district average, not smaller
Based on 2023-2024 data
School SummaryDistrict 2
District 2 includes some of the city's most highly rated elementary and middle schools — Lower Lab, Manhattan New School, and others scoring in the 90s. An evening transfer high school sits in a very different lane from those programs and shouldn't be compared on the same terms. The relevant comparison is to other transfer and evening schools across the city.
Academics
No state test proficiency or progress data was provided for this school, which is typical for evening transfer programs where students are working toward a Regents diploma rather than sitting for grade-level assessments. Average class size is 25.8, essentially identical to the district average of 25.8. Without proficiency numbers to compare, the academic picture is defined more by the program model — credit recovery, flexible scheduling, and graduation pathways — than by ranking against other schools.
Culture
The school reported zero suspensions, a notably clean discipline record compared to the district average suspension rate of roughly 0.3%. Without teacher or parent survey results in the data, it's harder to read the day-to-day feel — how strongly teachers trust leadership, whether families feel heard, or how safe the community feels inside the building. The absence of suspensions suggests a calm environment, but it's a thin signal on its own.
Community
School-level demographic data wasn't included in the profile, so the student body composition can't be described from these figures alone. Evening transfer high schools in NYC typically draw students from across the borough rather than from a single zoned catchment, and the surrounding Gramercy census tract is overwhelmingly adult — only 10% of households include children, which is itself a clue about who the immediate neighborhood isn't.
Neighborhood
Gramercy is one of Manhattan's most affluent and settled neighborhoods — median household income around $153,847, a poverty rate near 10.8%, and a college-educated rate above 83%. Only 10% of households have children, and homeownership sits at about 40% with a median home value over $922,000, so the block around the school skews toward established adult professionals and longtime residents rather than young families. For a program serving older students on evening schedules, that demographic actually fits well: the students aren't coming from the immediate block, and the building's location is more about transit accessibility than catchment.
Three nearby subway options put the school within a four-minute walk: the L train at 3 Av, and the 4, 5, 6 plus N, Q, R, W lines at 14 St-Union Sq. That makes it one of the better-connected school sites in Manhattan for students commuting from across the borough in the evening.
