I am a Senior of west bronx academy and I been in the school 4 years, so far I leaned a lot how to develop as a student/ person and become better. The best thing about this school there are teachers who are willing to help you a lot and they always ask if you are okay or lost. The worst part is the school lunch. It's just ew. I would wish middle school weren't involved in the school

it's a pretty average school but I really like my teachers this year and sometimes does have programs and opportunities for students.

West Bronx academy is a much better school than it is persuaded to be, I have been attending west Bronx academy since 6th grade and now I am currently in 10th grade. The teachers at the school care a lot about the students and they want to see us thrive and they prepare us for everything and for people like me who are in high school get us ready to go to college. This is why I think west Bronx academy is a very good school.

They try their best in a difficult environment.That said, there are maj...
