NEW WORLD HIGH SCHOOL

NEW WORLD HIGH SCHOOL is a Title I public high school that is part of the NEW YORK CITY GEOGRAPHIC DISTRICT #11 school district, located in BRONX, NY with about 396 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 24 teachers, NEW WORLD HIGH SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. 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.

NEW WORLD HIGH SCHOOL, located at 921 E 228th St in the Bronx, is a public secondary school operating within the New York City Department of Education system. It is specifically designed as a "Newcomer School," created to serve the unique educational needs of recently arrived immigrant students who are English Language Learners (ELLs). The school provides a supportive, sheltered environment where students can develop their English language proficiency while simultaneously working toward their high school diplomas.

The academic culture at New World is heavily focused on integrated language instruction and cultural adjustment. By emphasizing a rigorous curriculum that bridges the gap for students transitioning into the American educational system, the school aims to ensure that its graduates are prepared for college and career success. Its mission centers on providing a welcoming, inclusive community that respects the diverse backgrounds of its student body while prioritizing academic achievement and linguistic development.
