ROSALYN YALOW CHARTER SCHOOL

Situated along the iconic corridor at 650 Grand Concourse in the Bronx, New York, the Rosalyn Yalow Charter School operates as an active, independent charter district serving primary-grade students. Set within a bustling large-city environment in the heart of the New York metropolitan area, this single-school local education agency is dedicated exclusively to elementary learning, offering comprehensive instruction from kindergarten through fifth grade. Functioning as its own district for federal programs, the school provides a structured, accessible educational environment designed to build a strong academic foundation during children's most critical developmental years.

The school currently serves a student body of 401 children, maintaining balanced cohort sizes across each grade level—ranging from 59 students in kindergarten to 75 in third grade. Reflecting its surrounding neighborhood, the student population is culturally rich and diverse, primarily composed of Hispanic (195) and Black (191) students, alongside peers of Asian, American Indian, White, and multiracial backgrounds. A defining highlight of the district’s operational model is its deep investment in instructional human resources, boasting approximately 105 full-time equivalent teachers supported by dedicated aides and specialized support personnel, bringing the total staff to over 132 full-time equivalent roles. This exceptional level of staffing ensures young scholars receive intensive, individualized support.
