BCSE opened in 2004 serving students in grades K and 1 and has since grown to a full-blown elementary school and middle school ultimately housing K-8 in Parkchester. Recently the Bronx Excellence family has grown. Last year welcomed Bronx Excellence 5 in the West Bronx/Crotona area. The ECS network extended into the tri-state area with Stamford Excellence, a growing Pre-K – 5th grade charter elementary school in Stamford, CT. All ECS academies will grow into full service elementary and middle schools, in 2020 we will serve 4,000 scholars across 5 campuses.ECS embodies the strategies, innovation, and best practices that garnered BCSE national recognition as a 2012 National Blue Ribbon School, and continues to ensure the best workplace and school-level practices that have led us into becoming one of the highest performing charter schools in the state.
