Math, Engineering, and Science Academy (MESA) Charter High School is a community
high school in Bushwick, Brooklyn. We opened our doors in August 2013 and we now
have 496 students in grades 9-12. We graduated our first class of seniors in June 2017
and our cumulative graduation rate is 94%. Our students come from more than forty
different middle schools, including traditional public, parochial, and charter schools.
Some are advanced students coming from magnet schools; others are beginning
English Language Learners. What they all have in common is a desire to succeed. MESA
students come to school every day, ready to work—we have a 93% attendance rate
and a 93% punctuality rate, both significantly higher than other high schools in our
district! When it comes to NYS Regents pass rates, MESA outperforms its peers by a rate
of 20-30%!
Some key aspects of MESA’s school model are:
- Intentional Teaching—MESA uses a standards-based grading system, which makes
focused instruction, and helps students understand and track their own progress.
MESA teachers love data or at the very least, aren’t afraid of it!
- Intentional Support—MESA teachers have a minimum of rote administrative duties in
co-teaching, department and grade team planning is built into the school
schedule.
- Intentional PD—MESA has a comprehensive professional development calendar
equity, and inclusion initiatives. Teachers are also encouraged to seek out PD
opportunities outside of the school building.
- Intentional Culture—MESA’s advisory model connects small groups of entering
guidance on academic progress and are mentors, facilitators and positive
influencers. Students are recognized by their teachers regularly for academic
achievement and effort. Students are incentivized to meet school expectations
around attendance, punctuality and preparedness. MESA uses the Love and
Logic model to address disciplinary concerns.
- Intentional Relationships—MESA knows that all caregivers want their children to
regular communication, meetings, workshops, and access to student attendance
information and grades. More than 85% of MESA caregivers attend the initial
parent-teacher conference of the school year.
- Intentional Scheduling—MESA’s school day starts later than most DOE schools, as

thinking skills. The calendar and earlier start allows for “Intersession,” during Spring

preparation.
