My daughter had serious learning issues that were never identified by any of the teachers. Once we had an independent evaluation done, it was much too late, and SETTS was useless. Bronx Science has no idea what to do with twice exceptional students and less than no interest in coming up with ways to support them. The counseling department is nice, but exists in a bubble. If your child has any learning disabilities or mental health issues, I beg you not to send them to this school. They will suffer.

My daughter endured extreme bullying for four years. Last year, after I reported an incident, I went to the school and was met with hostility from one of her teachers, who gave me a look that made me feel unwelcome. On top of that, my daughter failed in math by just one point despite her consistent effort and her IEP, which teachers have historically taken into consideration. I strongly suspect this failure is connected to my report, but my priority is my daughter’s well-being. If my suspicions are true, I'm content knowing I did the right thing for MY child. I would advise any parent to steer clear of this school. My daughter herself asked not to return for the 2025–26 school year, and I fully support her decision.

I attended this school from kindergarten to fourth grade a few years back, I am now entering senior year in high school. While my anecdote may be considered outdated or unhelpful since it was this long ago, I still want to make my experience known, as I did not have the chance to voice any of these experiences as a child. The school offered absolutely no support for me as a neurodivergent child, and incidents with bullying were happening on a daily basis which were never properly addressed at all. I was undergoing constant harassment from peers which was never addressed and was constantly swept under the rug. On top of that, I was targeted and reprimanded constantly by teachers for “behavioral issues” that were either non-issues that stemmed from autism and adhd symptoms (fidgeting, stimming, misunderstanding instructions because of auditory processing issues), or were genuine incidents of me acting out in response to the bullying and harassment. Instead of trying to work with me and my mother as a child to address my issues, it would instead be sidelined in favor of simply being labeled as a “bad child” and treated like that as a result. While this is due to a combination of both elementary school experiences and home experiences, the extent of the neglect that I went through in this school was bad enough that it has resulted in me being medically diagnosed with complex trauma disorders stemming partly from my experiences here. On top of that, the curriculum was very clearly not catered to certain types of children, and I suffered academically as a result by being chronically behind in core subjects such as math, which was made evident by the disparity between the scope of my knowledge and the scope of the knowledge of other kids at the school i had transferred to for fifth grade. While I cannot confirm or deny if the school has truly gotten better, I feel it is important to know the history that this school has when it comes to these issues.
