The Bronx High School of Science — The Bronx, New York City
School type: Public Specialized · Live coaching in ET (Eastern)
The Bronx High School of Science — known as Bronx Science — is one of New York City's nine specialized high schools, admitting via the SHSAT. Founded in 1938, it has produced more Nobel laureates than any other US secondary school: 8 alumni Nobel laureates (in Physics) and a further 6 Pulitzer Prize winners.
Bronx Science offers AP Biology to juniors and seniors with a strong emphasis on lab investigation and biotechnology coursework. The school has a documented history of USABO Open and Semifinal participation, and biology students routinely matriculate into top pre-med, biotech, and research programmes.
For Bronx Science students targeting AP-5, our 1:1 coaching adds FRQ rubric mastery — the layer that converts Bronx Science's strong content depth into the specific College-Board-rubric-aligned answers required for a 5 on the May exam.
Sourced from publicly available rankings (US News, Niche, Boarding School Review), CEE / USABO TRC press releases, and the school's own publications.
Bronx Science consistently produces USABO Open and Semifinal participants. Specific finalist counts are publicly reported in USABO TRC bios across recent years.
Bronx Science's graduating class of ~750 has strong matriculation outcomes. Per Niche and the school's posted statistics, common destinations include Cornell, Columbia, NYU, MIT, Stanford, Harvard, Yale, Carnegie Mellon, Brown, and the SUNY honors track. Brown PLME (BS/MD) is a frequent target for biology-focused students.
Bronx Science AP Biology covers Campbell on a standard college-pace timeline. April is dedicated review. Our 1:1 sessions schedule best in ET evenings (commute considerations similar to Stuyvesant) or weekend mornings. FRQ rubric practice coordinated with school's biology testing calendar.
