- When the Urban Assembly Academy for Careers in Sports (ACS) opened in 2002,
only 18 percent of its freshmen performed at grade level in math. By the end of
their sophomore year, 99 percent of them had passed the Math A Regents exam.
In June 2005, ACS administered the Math A Regents for the first time to its
freshmen. Ninety-eight percent of them passed, compared to an 81 percent pass
rate citywide.
- In 2005, 98 percent of students at the Bronx Academy of Letters passed the
English and Math A Regents exams. Students have won scholarships to highly
selective summer writing and journalism programs at Columbia, Princeton, and
Smith College.
- In 2005-2006, the Urban Assembly School for Applied Math and Science challenged 23 sixth-graders with the ninth-grade Biology Regents exam. Almost
half of them passed it, compared to 58 percent of ninth-graders who took the
exam citywide.
- Every single student at the Urban Assembly School for Law and Justice passed
the Math A Regents exam by the end of tenth grade. A quarter of them were
accelerated and passed it a year early, in ninth grade. Ninth- graders produced a
documentary selected for screening at the Boston Film Festival. In the summer of
2006, four students from the school were awarded scholarships by Junior
Statesmen of America and took college-level courses at Yale and Princeton.
- Ninth-graders at the Urban Assembly School for Law, Government and Justice in
the Bronx, coached by attorneys from the law firm and school partner, Kaye
Scholer, competed successfully against students from the elite private school,
Horace Mann, in a mock court competition. In 2006, two seniors were awarded
Posse Foundation scholarships to Trinity and Franklin and Marshall Colleges, and
two won full scholarships to Dartmouth and New York University.
- Digital photography students at the Urban Assembly School for Music and Arts, in
partnership with Kids with Cameras, mounted an exhibit in Williamsburg and sold
every photograph.
- The Urban Assembly School of Business for Young Women won a competitive
bid to be formally adopted by Time Warner Women's Network.
- Students at the Urban Assembly's New York Harbor School have won four
scholarships to the prestigious Island School in the Bahamas, where high school
sophomores and juniors spend a semester studying environmental sciences and
marine biology.
