Bronxville Union Free School District
Bronxville Union Free School District is a public school district serving the Village of Bronxville, Westchester County, New York. In 2023, 1603 students were enrolled across the district's elementary, middle and high schools. Bronxville High School was named the 10th best public high school in New York State for 2024.
In 1934, Bronxville became one of the first public high schools in Westchester County to provide a continuous French language education for grades 7-12. It was added to the curriculum to promote the reading of the language and to allow students to feel achievement as they make progress in French. Since then, Spanish, Latin and Mandarin have also been added.
The teaching of advanced life sciences was added to the Bronxville School curriculum in hopes to teach students from kindergarten to high school how to think, ask questions, collect data, and come to conclusions. Students begin with basic concepts in elementary school, where they make observations. In middle and high school, students perform experiments in a laboratory setting where they can work in biology, chemistry, and physics classes up to the AP level. Bronxville was one of the first schools to establish a sex education program in the 1940s.
David Quattrone became the superintendent in 2005; he resigned in 2016. The district in 2016 had about 1,700 students, and in 2017 it had about 1,670 students. Roy Montesano, previously of the Hastings-on-Hudson school district, became the superintendent in 2017, and was replaced by Dr. Rachel Kelly after Montesano's retirement in January 2023. In the early 2000s, there was substantial construction and renovation which, at one point, generated some letters of protest from students.
Bronxville is a mile-square suburb north of New York City in Westchester County, New York. It was named after Swedish immigrant Jonas Bronck. The latitude is 40.938N; longitude is -73.832W. It is in the Eastern Standard Time zone. The estimated population (2003) was 6,515 according to census data. The median household income is over $200,000. It is located on the Bronx River. The town used to be called "Underhill's Crossing". It was developed by William Van Duzer Lawrence after 1889 who purchased farmland and zoned it with large lots for single-family houses but also apartment buildings and numerous rental townhouse complexes. Lawrence founded Sarah Lawrence College in 1928 in memory of his wife. The town attracted many artists and became known as an "artist's colony". The public library financed a major expansion in 2001 when it sold a painting for $4.1 million. The school is centrally located in the town across from the Dutch Reformed Church of Bronxville, diagonally opposite the town hall, and across from the Bronxville public library.
The elementary school, middle school, and high school are located in one large building near the downtown. The campus, located on Pondfield Road, is located in a low point in the town; during particularly heavy rains in the past, the school has experienced flooding. There was a period when the school was closed for several weeks as a result of flooding. As a result, boilers and heating equipment have been moved to higher levels, and basement areas have been remodeled with moisture resistant substances in case the building is flooded again.
In 2023, the superintendent of schools is Dr. Rachel Kelly, and the assistant superintendent is Dr. Mary Koetke. The high school principal is Ann Meyer, the assistant principal is Marcellus Lessane, who is also the middle school assistant principal. The middle school principal is Joe Mercora. The principal of the elementary school is Rakiya Adams; the assistant principal is Anthony Vaglica. As of 2023, there are 1,603 students at Bronxville. A limited number of out-of-district students can enroll in Bronxville High School at a yearly tuition determined by New York State and enacted by the Board of Education.
The school has a foundation, created in 1991, which solicits donations from community members, alumni, corporations and others to raise monies for special programs to provide new equipment, programs, curriculum innovations, teacher training and tools. Since 1991, and as of 2023, the foundation has made grants totaling $12 million of support; 2021-2022 donations were at least $483,000, according to information from the foundation.
