Bronx, New York, United States Rosalyn Yalow Charter School Full time

Company Overview

ROSALYN YALOW CHARTER SCHOOL is a non-profit k-5 public charter school. Our mission is to eliminate the learning achievement gap for urban children including special needs students and English language learners—by using an engaging and demanding curriculum to graduate students at or above grade level in literacy and math.

We are accomplishing that mission: in spring 2019 Yalow's 3rd and 4th graders outperformed New York City and New York State in both ELA and math, and exceeded averages for all NYC charter schools. At the same time, Yalow's cohort of English language learners, students with disabilities, and economically disadvantaged students have outperformed 3rd-and 4th-grade students across the state in the ELA and math tests. Furthermore, in our first charter term Yalow's k-4 students won four NYS Scholastic Chess Championships, and our students have sung alongside the Bronx Opera Company.
