Our Insights

This is an unzoned middle school, meaning students who attend may come from across your school district, your borough, or the entire city. It may offer more than one program, such as a dual language program, or one specializing in the performing arts or STEM (science, technology, engineering and math). Some art programs may require auditions.

If you dont know what school district you live in, check our Middle School Guided Search.
