This is good news for the Bronx and Bronx Science. I used to live near Bronx High School of Science and run around Jerome Park there.

I've heard from teachers that it's good but still doesn't compare to Scarsdale or Irvington. You're still dealing with a lot of city kids that automatically comes with urban issues. Still, kids from all five boroughs of the city attend Bronx Science and there's a reason why. Parents in NYC kill and jump many hurdles to get their child a slot in a high-performing, high-stakes school.
