District 7
District 7 in the South Bronx includes a mix of desolate lots and industrial buildings, a vibrant shopping district, and wide streets with old brownstones, which have recently caught the eyes of Manhattan residents. Modern condominiums have risen next to a remodeled shopping center. However, most schools are still performing well below the city's average. The district is home to SOBRO, a community organization that offers free services, such as job placement, tutoring, GED programs, counseling, and real estate development, and Hostos Community College, which also has its own middle and high school on campus.
District contacts
Each district has a superintendent, and a family advocate who is charged with responding to parents' concerns.
In addition, parents in each district elect a Communty Education Council (CEC), an advisory panel, to represent them. CEC members have little formal power but some are effective advocates for parents.
