Abstract | Evander Childs High School and Morris High School are two of the largest and most challenged secondary schools in the Bronx. Despite decades of political handwringing, many attempts at school reform, an array of corporate and community partner programs, and efforts to recruit highly qualified faculties for the long term, many of the students in those buildings have failed to thrive. At Evander and Morris, the schools have been divided into a number of autonomous small schools with independent names, student populations, and identities. This article takes a look at two of these autonomous small schools--Bronx Lab School and Bronx International High School in Morris. Bronx Lab School and Bronx International High School have one thing in common--they have a compelling vision and an unwavering commitment to graduate all of their students prepared for success in college and beyond. They are schools with dynamic missions, extremely high expectations, and entrepreneurial faculties who share a vision and a common core of values and practices. The author examines how these schools have achieved these goals. (ERIC). |
