Education Snapshot

Bronx, New York

The Bronx runs 513 schools across 97 school districts, collectively enrolling approximately 214,598 students. The level mix breaks down as 252 elementary schools, 78 middle schools, 159 high schools, and 24 other or combined programs. Ninety of those schools — about 18% of the borough total — operate as charters, creating a non-district option for families across the borough. MySchoolScout composite ratings average 5.6/10 across 505 scored schools, placing the Bronx 0.6 points below the New York state average of 6.2/10. Median household income is $48,681, which is 48% below the New York state median of $93,975, and only 21% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher. The 0.6-point rating deficit and the 48% income gap both run in the same direction — the Bronx trails New York state on each measure.

About Schools in Bronx, New York

The Bronx runs 452 ranked public schools — one of the largest urban school landscapes in the country. The average score across those schools sits at 5.6 out of 10, placing most families in mid-tier territory by default. But the spread matters: 83 schools, roughly 18% of the total, score 7 or above, meaning high-quality options exist — they just require active searching rather than proximity luck.

At the top of that pool, PS 153 Helen Keller leads all Bronx schools with a 9.0 out of 10, a score that would rank competitively in most major American cities. Celia Cruz Bronx High School of Music (8.8) and High School of American Studies at Lehman College (8.6) anchor the high school side, giving families strong secondary options within the borough. On the elementary side, PS 204 Morris Heights and Mount Eden Children's Academy both score 8.5, confirming that high-performing elementary choices are distributed across the borough rather than concentrated in one zone.

The practical challenge here isn't finding great schools — 83 schools clearing the 7-point threshold proves they exist — it's the gap between the average and the top. A 5.6 borough average means the median neighborhood school falls well below the leading tier. Parents who rely on zoned assignment without researching alternatives are likely to land in the middle of the distribution. With nearly 1 in 5 schools above the 7.0 mark, the Bronx rewards families who search early and deliberately.

Start with those 83 schools above the 7.0 threshold and filter by grade band and commute range. Elementary families have clear high-scoring targets in PS 153 Helen Keller (9.0), PS 204 Morris Heights (8.5), and Mount Eden Children's Academy (8.5). High schoolers have two strong named options in Celia Cruz Bronx High School of Music (8.8) and High School of American Studies at Lehman College (8.6). The Bronx is a large system with real performance variance — with 452 schools in the dataset, the data advantage belongs to parents who use it.
