The Bronx: Residential Segregation


The Bronx High School of Science,

West 205th Street, Bronx, NY Bronx

&

DeWitt Clinton High School

100 W Mosholu Pkwy S, Bronx, NY 10468

 

Even though the high schools are situated in a middle or mixed income, the surrounding areas are comprised of people with lower incomes. Both The Bronx High School of Science and DeWitt Clinton High School are located in the 10468 area of the Bronx. The average household income (in 2015) was $33,585 from the ages 25-44. Since The Bronx High School of Science is considered a specialized school only a handful of students who meet up to the schools’ expectations are able to attend. The rest of the children in this area who are unable to attend Bronx Science are forced to go to DeWitt Clinton with all the other students with the same financial status.
