What Parents Should Know

At 196 students, Arturo a Schomburg Satellite Academy Bronx is on the smaller side.

Ask what activities it actually offers.

Arturo a Schomburg Satellite Academy Bronx runs 24.5:1 students to teachers, above the national average. That often means bigger classes. Ask how the school supports kids who need extra help, and whether there are teaching assistants or small-group time.
