Bronx 5
We are now accepting enrollment applications for the 2026-2027 school year.
"We thrive at B5!"
Opened in 2019, Bronx Excellence 5, also known as B5, is a high-performing charter school currently serving scholars in grades K-7.
According to New York State exam data, 90% of our scholars are proficient in ELA, which is more than double the average of our district peers, and 97% and 100% of 3rd and 4th graders are proficient in Math respectively, which is twice the average.
Bronx Excellence 5 uses the same academic model that earned Bronx Excellence 1 its National Blue Ribbon, ensuring a consistent standard of excellence for all our scholars.
We will welcome our first 8th-grade class in the 2026-27 academic year.
