At a Glance
A highly sought-after unscreened high school in the Bronx with exceptional family trust scores and an intensely competitive admissions process
Families who want a safe, trusting school environment with strong parent involvement and don't mind the highly competitive admissions process. This school works well for families who value community engagement — the 55% survey response rate and 349 family responses indicate active parent participation. It's particularly suited for families interested in language programs (Spanish, French, German, Japanese) or those wanting a school with robust athletics. Families should be prepared for the reality that most applicants won't get in (5.6% offer rate) and should understand that the very high economic need population means many students are navigating significant challenges outside school.
- Exceptional parent trust scores — 98% satisfaction beats the district average by 4 points
- Zero suspensions — a clean discipline record in a district where the average suspension rate is 0.28%
- Highly competitive admissions — only 5.6% of applicants received an offer, making it one of the most sought-after unscreened schools in District 10
- Robust language offerings — French, German, Japanese, and Spanish, plus dual-language programming
- Dual pathways — offers both standard academic and Spanish Transitional Bilingual programs
- Strong athletics — 17 sports offered, including cricket, gymnastics, swimming, and wrestling
- No test score data provided, so academic performance relative to other schools can't be assessed
- Teacher trust in leadership (80%) is notably lower than parent trust (97-98%) — a gap worth understanding before enrolling
- Very high economic need (87%) means many students face out-of-school challenges that affect learning
- The 5.6% offer rate means most applicants will be rejected — families should have backup options
- Teacher instruction quality (89%) runs slightly below district average (91%)
- No attendance data provided, making it hard to assess chronic absenteeism trends

School SummaryDistrict 10
World View High School sits in District 10 alongside peer schools like P.S. 024 Spuyten Duyvil (92/100), P.S. 081 Robert J. Christen (88/100), and Milton Fein School (73/100). Without state test score data, direct academic comparisons are difficult, but the school's competitive admissions and exceptional family satisfaction suggest strong parent demand. The zero-suspension record and high trust scores position it well against peers, though the teacher-to-leadership trust gap and slightly below-average teacher instruction quality ratings are areas to watch.
Test score data isn't provided in this dataset, but the school operates as a comprehensive high school with AP courses, STEM programming, and a dual-language pathway. The program richness score of 80/100 indicates robust academic offerings including world languages (French, German, Japanese, Spanish) and ELL support. With an average class size of 22.9 — identical to the district average — class sizes are typical for the area.
This is where World View High School really stands out. Parents report 98% satisfaction — well above the district average of 94% — and nearly universal trust in both teachers (98%) and the principal (97%). Teacher-reported instruction quality sits at 89%, slightly below the district average of 91%, suggesting some room for growth in classroom instruction. Teachers themselves report solid collegial trust (77%) and moderate trust in leadership (80%). The discipline record is clean: zero suspensions last year, compared to a district average suspension rate of 0.28%. This creates a school environment that feels safe and trusting, though the gap between parent trust and teacher trust in leadership is worth noting.
The student body mirrors the neighborhood: 71% Hispanic, 21% Black, 5% Asian, and 2% White, with a diversity index of 46%. Twenty percent of students have IEPs, and the economic need index of 87% is quite high — nearly 9 in 10 students qualify for free or reduced lunch. This is a school where many families are navigating economic challenges, yet they're showing up: 349 families completed surveys, a 55% response rate that suggests meaningful parent involvement.
Bedford Park is a transit-friendly, family-dense neighborhood in the Bronx with strong stability (76th percentile) but significant economic challenges. The median household income is just $44,438, and only 7% of residents own homes. Education orientation is relatively low (33rd percentile), but family density is very high (80th percentile). Safety scores are moderate, and the area has elevated asthma rates and some environmental health concerns (PM2.5 levels). For families without cars, the high transit score (75th percentile) makes getting to school manageable.
The neighborhood is transit-accessible with strong bus and subway connections, though families walking or taking public transit should plan for commute times. The area is dense with families, so students often walk to school together.
