Overview
As a learning community, we believe strongly in providing students with a rigorous and challenging Common Core-aligned curriculum to promote continuous academic achievement while addressing the social and emotional development of each student. We have received numerous awards for excellence on city and state assessments and many of our students are accepted into prestigious specialized and screened high schools. Through grant funding, we have three state-of-the-art science labs, two computer labs, a history/media lab, and a new music lab.

We have been featured in the New York Times, Daily News, Our Town (Upper East Side), insideschools.org, greatschools.org, and dnainfo.com. According to schooldigger.com, our middle school was ranked in the top five percent of all schools in the state of New York this year.
