It occupies the second floor of a building that hosts several other public schools: Louis D. Brandeis High School, Frank McCourt High School, Urban Assembly School for Green Careers and Innovation Diploma Plus High School. At Success Academy Charter School Upper West, STEM instruction starts in kindergarten and continues into every grade, including field trips to nearby buildings and bridges to study engineering concepts.

The school is one of 47 New York City charter schools operated by Success Academy, which began in 2006 as Harlem Success Academy and was an early pioneer in the city’s charter school movement. Supported by public money and philanthropy and often profiled in the media and in documentaries, Success Academy receives several applications for every available seat in its charter schools, with students chosen through a lottery system.

GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
