The New York City Department of Education closed the school in June 2009, owing to poor performance (high truancy, violence and a low graduation rate). New, specialty schools were created as part of the New Century Schools initiative. The high schools on the Stevenson Campus are:[1][2]

  • Bronx Community High School
  • Bronx Guild (X452)
  • Gateway School for Environmental Research and Technology (X295)
  • Millennium Art Academy (X312)
  • Pablo Neruda Academy for Architecture and World Studies (X305)
  • School for Community Research and Learning (X540)
  • Bronx Compass (X561)

In addition to the five high schools, two middle schools are collocated on campus:

  • Bronx Bridges High School (X432)
  • Antonia Pantoja Preparatory Academy, A College Board School (X376)
