Our Insights
Located in a century-old building that looks a bit like a castle and occupies an entire city block, MS 98 is a zoned neighborhood middle school that shares a building with two high schools, Explorations Academy and Bronx Envison Academy.
The school has long strugggled with poor academic performance.
