Northwest Bronx School Progress Reports Released

Below, we have compiled the grades for each of the elementary and middle schools considered part of the Norwood News’ primary coverage area here in the northwest Bronx. Each letter grade is accompanied by its corresponding score, which might give a more accurate picture of a school’s performance. For example, PS/MS 15 dropped just four tenths of point but went from an A in 2010-2011 to a B in 2011-2012. For more detail on each school’s progress report or if your school isn’t on this list, visit schools.nyc.gov, search your school’s name and click on “statistics.”
