Mott Haven Village Preparatory High School
Mott Haven Village Preparatory High School (MHVP) is a NYC Department of Education high school operated in partnership with East Side House Settlement. Created in 2002 for young people in the South Bronx who aspire to higher education, MHVP presently serves 350 students in grades 9-12. Mott Haven Village Prep offers a challenging academic curriculum and unique support services to help students become college-ready and self-assured. The dynamic program offers opportunities such as internships, SAT preparation, service learning, local and out-of-state college tours, counseling, and student advisory groups.
In a neighborhood too often known for its poverty and crime rates, Mott Haven Village Prep students, who typically begin the program with reading and math skills significantly below grade level, are distinguished for statistics of a different sort: between 88% and 94% of MHVP graduates pass their Regents exams with scores 30-50% above statewide averages, around 90% graduate, and more than 90% gain admission to college. Overall school attendance for the last school year was 83.9%.
