Frederick Douglass Academy III Secondary School

Public choice option that is not guaranteed by address and generally depends on district choice or broader application rules.

I want to sincerely welcome you to Frederick Douglass Academy III! We are a small gem located in the South Bronx. I have worked at Frederick Douglass Academy III for 21 years. I first began as a founding teacher and through hard work, I have had an opportunity to be the Principal for the last 10 years. I truly love the community and having the opportunity to make a positive impact in "scholars" lives. I believe in paying it forward in which someone does something for you, instead of paying that person back directly, you pass it on to another person instead. Scholar voice is very important too and we want you to express yourself to your fullest. We want scholars to feel comfortable at their school and have the option to choose what they would like in a great school. Frederick Douglass Academy III had an 87% graduation rate for the 2023-24 school year and we are projected to improve to 90%+ for the 2024-25 school year! We are also pleased to say we have an Early College track in collaboration with Bronx Community College. Students will have the opportunity to earn credits towards their associates degree while in High School. We are also a community school and that allows us to provide additional resources to give to our school community. We also have several PSAL sports including Girls Volleyball, Boys Soccer, Boys Basketball, Girls Basketball, Girls Badminton, and Boys Baseball. We are looking to make improvements to our school constantly and we are working diligently to provide the support/services our scholars will need. Welcome once again to the Frederick Douglass Academy III community! We will continue to support every scholar, every day!
