Overview
New World Preparatory Charter School, commonly styled New World Prep, is a public charter school in Staten Island, one of the five boroughs of New York City, serving students in kindergarten through grade 8 [1][3]. The school states that it primarily serves North Shore communities of Staten Island, including Port Richmond, Mariners Harbor, New Brighton, West Brighton, Elm Park, Livingston, and St. George [1]. Its official website lists two campuses: a Main Campus at 26 Sharpe Avenue, which houses the middle school for grades 6 through 8, and an East Campus at 285 Clove Road [1].
New World Prep appears in NYC Public Schools listings as school number R073, with the District Borough Number (DBN) 84R073, and is assigned to Geographic District 31 [3]. The New York State Education Department (NYSED) data profile for the school reports 804 students enrolled in the 2024–25 school year [2].
This profile summarizes what the school’s own published materials, NYC Public Schools, and NYSED records state about the school. It is not an evaluation of school quality, and it does not rank or recommend the school.
Location and School Identity
The school’s name appears in two closely related forms in official sources: “New World Prep Charter School” on its own website and in NYSED records, and “New World Preparatory Charter School” in NYC Public Schools listings [1][2][3]. Both refer to the same Staten Island charter school, which can be identified by its NYC Public Schools number R073, its DBN 84R073, and its NYSED institution identifier 800000067673 [2][3].
Address information differs slightly across sources, which is common for schools that operate in more than one building:
- The school’s profile page lists a Main Campus at 26 Sharpe Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10302, and an East Campus at 285 Clove Road, Staten Island, NY 10310 [1].
- NYC Public Schools lists the school’s location as 285 Clove Road and separately lists three building codes: RABC at 285 Clove Road, RABK at 355 Morningstar Road, and RACF at 465 Villa Avenue [3].
The retrieved sources do not explain the relationship between the school’s two-campus description and the three buildings listed by NYC Public Schools. Families should confirm which building a student will attend directly with the school.
New World Prep is categorized as a charter school by NYC Public Schools, which also provides a link to its charter school enrollment guidance [3]. The school’s assignment to Geographic District 31 is an administrative affiliation; it does not by itself establish that a student living in District 31 is eligible to attend, and a school’s street address does not define an attendance boundary for a charter school [3].
Grades and Academic Programs
The school describes itself as serving students in grades K through 8 and states that its Main Campus houses the middle school, grades 6 through 8 [1]. NYC Public Schools lists the grade range as 0K, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, and SE, a designation used in New York City school listings that indicates the school also serves students in special education settings [3].
The supplied sources do not include a detailed curriculum outline, a list of specialized programs, extracurricular offerings, or advanced coursework for this school. The NYSED profile page includes general explanatory material and enrollment details rather than a program catalog [2]. One term defined on that page, “Common Branch,” refers to self-contained classes in grades 1 through 6 that are taught by teachers certified to teach all subjects typically included in elementary school; the definition is provided by NYSED as context for its enrollment reporting, not as a description of this school’s specific instructional model [2].
The NYSED page also notes that additional information about state assessments is available on the State Assessment website, including fact sheets about the grades 3–8 tests for parents and stakeholders [2]. Readers looking for current program offerings, course sequences, or enrichment activities should consult the school directly, since those details are not documented in the sources reviewed here.
Enrollment and School Data
A small number of official figures are available for this school. They are reported at the school level and cover a single reporting period.
| Item | Value | Source and period |
|---|---|---|
| Total students | 804 | NYSED school profile, 2024–25 school year [2] |
| Grade span | Kindergarten through grade 8 (NYC listing also includes SE) | School profile [1]; NYC Public Schools [3] |
| School type | Public charter school | NYC Public Schools [3] |
| Geographic district | District 31, Staten Island | NYC Public Schools [3] |
| DBN | 84R073 | NYC Public Schools [3] |
| NYSED institution identifier | 800000067673 | NYSED data site [2] |
Limitations apply to these figures. The enrollment total is a single school-wide number for 2024–25 and should not be read as a current-year count [2]. The retrieved NYSED page includes sections on school climate, attendance, and suspension measures, but the text available in the retrieved evidence did not include the corresponding values for this school, so those measures cannot be reported here. Missing values should not be interpreted as zero or as evidence of performance in either direction [2].
NYSED’s page also carries a “Local Support and Improvement” heading, which relates to New York State’s school accountability framework under the federal Every Student Succeeds Act; the retrieved text did not include the school’s full accountability determinations or any related plan [2]. Readers seeking the school’s current accountability status should consult NYSED directly.
Admissions and Enrollment
New World Prep is a charter school, not a zoned district school. NYC Public Schools lists it under its charter category and links families to its guidance on how to enroll in a charter school [3]. Because charter schools are schools of choice that are publicly funded, admission is generally not determined by a home address or attendance zone; in New York State, charter schools are required to admit students by lottery when applications exceed available seats. Families should treat that as general background about charter school admissions rather than a statement of this school’s specific procedures, and should confirm application windows, required documents, deadlines, and any preference rules with the school and with NYC Public Schools [3].
Nothing in the sources reviewed here indicates that living in District 31, or in any of the North Shore neighborhoods the school says it serves, guarantees a seat [1][3].
Student Services and Family Information
Several family-facing items are documented in official listings:
- Meals: NYC Public Schools lists free student meals for the school and provides breakfast and lunch menus [3].
- Accessibility: The NYC Public Schools listing records “No Accessibility” for this school [3]. Families who need information about physical accessibility, accommodations, or related services should contact the school directly rather than relying on that single listing field.
- Mental health and wellness: The NYC Public Schools page advises families to ask the school’s Parent Coordinator, School Social Worker, or School Counselor for information about the school’s mental health program [3].
- Facilities and environmental reporting: The NYC Public Schools page links to water testing and environmental reports and to a Building Condition Assessment Survey for the school’s buildings [3].
- Bullying reporting: The NYC Public Schools page includes a “How to report bullying” link [3].
The sources reviewed here do not document language support services, transportation eligibility, after-school programming, or extended-day offerings for this school. Those details should be verified with the school.
Governance and Leadership
New World Prep’s own profile page lists Eugene Foley as president and lists three principals by grade band: Sade Martinez for grades K–2, Nicole Johnson for grades 3–5, and Drew Tarloff for grades 6–8 [1]. NYC Public Schools lists Nicole Johnson as Principal [3]. The two listings are not necessarily in conflict, because the school’s page assigns principals to grade bands while the city listing names a single school leader, but readers should confirm current roles with the school.
The school’s profile page lists a Board of Trustees with Angelo Aponte as Chair, Larry Miraldi as Vice Chair, and Alice Tobin as Secretary, along with board members John McBeth, Michael McVey, Latica Randle, Alice Tobin, and Peter Weinman, Esq. [1]. It also publishes a 2025–2026 board meeting schedule: meetings at 5:30 p.m. at 26 Sharpe Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10302, on scheduled Mondays from August 2025 through June 2026 [1]. Board membership and meeting schedules can change, so readers should check the school’s website for the current list and calendar.
Community Context
The school describes its service area as the North Shore of Staten Island, naming Port Richmond, Mariners Harbor, New Brighton, West Brighton, Elm Park, Livingston, and St. George [1]. That description reflects the communities the school says it primarily serves; it is not an attendance boundary and does not determine eligibility for enrollment [1][3]. The sources reviewed here do not include a founding date, authorization history, or enrollment growth record, so those details are not reported in this profile.
How to Verify Current Information
School policies, staffing, calendars, and enrollment procedures can change. For the most current information, consult these official sources:
- The school: New World Prep’s website, including its school profile page, and its published contact information — phone 718-705-8990 and fax 718-442-1583 [1][3].
- NYC Public Schools: The school page at schools.nyc.gov/schools/R073 for the city’s listing, enrollment guidance for charter schools, meal menus, and facilities reports [3].
- New York State Education Department: The NYSED data profile for the school for enrollment and accountability reporting, including state assessment information for grades 3–8 [2].
Where sources disagree — for example, on campus addresses or on how leadership roles are listed — this profile reports both versions rather than choosing one, and readers should treat the school and its governing bodies as the authoritative source for current operational details [1][3].
