Bronxville Union Free School District

[2] 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.

[3] 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.

[5] 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.

[8] In the early 2000s, there was substantial construction and renovation which, at one point, generated some letters of protest from students.

[10] 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.

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.

[1] 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.

[12] 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.

[21] Bronxville High School had 6 National Merit semi-finalists and 27 AP Scholars in 2023.

The Middle and High School Bands and Orchestras compete yearly in the NYSSMA competition.

In 2014, 2016, and 2017, the High School Orchestra won Gold with Distinction for level VI at NYSSMA Majors.

Past performances include Urinetown, The Sound of Music, The Diary of Anne Frank and the Heidi Chronicles.

There are athletic programs for football, basketball, baseball, field hockey, track, cross-country, lacrosse, mountain biking, and other sports.

[23] The vast array of levels allows for more inclusivity by enabling students of all athletic backgrounds to play sports.

[24] In June 2023, the girls lost to Skaneateles High School in the final round of the championship.

A new wing was added to accommodate increased enrollment.
