Hyde Leadership Charter School was founded in 2006 with the commitment to serve the Hunts Point neighborhood of the South Bronx, the highest-risk community for children in New York City. It is one of the largest independent charter schools in New York City.
As three schools under one charter, Hyde serves nearly 1,000 students, who have the opportunity to attend a school that supports them from kindergarten all the way to and through college. This approach is resulting in strong outcomes for students.
Hyde Leadership Charter School is the only K–12 college-preparatory school serving students and families in the Hunts Point section of the South Bronx, the highest-risk community for children in New York City. With our Family-Based Character Education Model, over 90% of our students graduate from high school each year, preparing them for college and for life.
