The Bronx

The Bronx school system is divided into six districts. Although there are some very good schools—particularly new alternative schools—many of the schools in the Bronx are poor, suffering from low test scores, attendance and graduation rates as well as high teacher and principal turnover.  To learn more about your children's educational options, please visit one of the following welcome centers run by the New York City's Department of Education.
