X282 Women's Academy of Excellence

Public high schools shape the rhythm of Bronx neighborhoods, offering more than textbooks and tests. X282 Women's Academy of Excellence anchors this tradition at 456 White Plains Rd, a stretch where bodegas and brownstones share the sidewalk. Students here navigate college prep alongside career pathways, with options spanning STEM electives, arts programs, and vocational training—all designed to meet citywide graduation standards. The school’s structure mirrors others in the district: zoned enrollment, free lunch eligibility, and the same state-mandated exams. What sets it apart is its single-gender focus, a model that continues to draw families looking for an environment tailored to young women’s educational trajectories.

Bronx schools often serve as community hubs, and this one is no exception. Directions to the campus are straightforward for anyone familiar with the 2 and 5 subway lines or the Bx36 bus route, which stops nearby. Those needing to confirm details or ask about enrollment can call (718) 542-0740. For a precise map, the location is pinned here, where the address appears alongside transit notes and accessibility info. Like most city schools, it operates on the standard academic calendar, with schedules available through the DOE portal rather than the front office.
