CROTONA ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL

CROTONA ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL is a Title I public high school that is part of the NEW YORK CITY GEOGRAPHIC DISTRICT # 7 school district, located in BRONX, NY with about 130 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 11 teachers, CROTONA ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

CROTONA ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL, located at 1211 Southern Blvd in the Bronx, is a specialized educational institution that serves as a **transfer high school**. Operated in partnership with the New York City Department of Education and community-based organizations, the school is specifically designed for older students (typically ages 16–21) who have fallen behind in credits or have previously struggled in traditional high school settings. The program focuses on re-engaging these students by providing a flexible, supportive environment tailored to helping them recover credits and eventually earn their high school diploma.

The academy emphasizes a personalized approach to learning, utilizing smaller class sizes and close relationships with faculty and counselors to address the unique social, emotional, and academic needs of each student. By offering a non-traditional schedule and comprehensive support services, Crotona Academy aims to remove the barriers that prevent students from graduating, helping them transition into post-secondary education, vocational training, or the workforce. It serves as a vital resource for Bronx youth seeking a "second chance" to get back on track toward academic success.
