ENTRADA ACADEMY

ENTRADA ACADEMY is a Title I public middle school that is part of the NEW YORK CITY GEOGRAPHIC DISTRICT #12 school district, located in BRONX, NY with about 251 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 22 teachers, ENTRADA ACADEMY 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.

ENTRADA ACADEMY, located at 977 Fox Street in the Bronx, is a specialized secondary school operating within the New York City Department of Education system. It is notably recognized as a **transfer high school**, a category of institutions specifically designed to serve students who have fallen behind in credits or have previously disengaged from traditional high school settings. The school’s mission is centered on providing a supportive, flexible, and personalized environment that helps students get back on track toward graduation and prepares them for life after high school.

The academy emphasizes a small-school culture, which allows for more meaningful relationships between students and faculty. By offering smaller class sizes and personalized academic advising, ENTRADA ACADEMY aims to address the individual barriers its students may face—whether those are academic, social, or personal. In addition to a core academic curriculum, the school focuses on social-emotional support and college and career readiness, striving to empower its students to overcome past educational obstacles and achieve long-term success.
