URBAN SCIENCE ACADEMY is a Title I public middle school that is part of the NEW YORK CITY GEOGRAPHIC DISTRICT # 9 school district, located in BRONX, NY with about 316 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 8th 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 29 teachers, URBAN SCIENCE ACADEMY has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.
