ST. Raymond Elementary School

What ST. Raymond Elementary School does

St. Raymond Elementary School is a Catholic parish elementary school located at 2380 East Tremont Avenue in the Parkchester section of the Bronx, New York. Founded in 1875 and operated under the governance of the Archdiocese of New York as part of St. Raymond Parish, the school serves students from UPK 3 through Grade 8, welcoming children of all faiths. Leadership includes Principal Eugene Scanlon, Pastor Fr. James Cruz, and a tiered administrative team with Assistant Principals for each division, supported by approximately 47 faculty and staff. The Class of 2022 had 80 eighth-grade graduates, indicating a typical enrollment in the 500-650 student range across all divisions.

The school's educational program is structured into three divisions — Early Childhood-Primary (UPK 3-Grade 1), Elementary (Grades 2-5), and Middle School (Grades 6-8) — each with dedicated leadership and specialized offerings. Academic technology includes SMART Boards in every classroom, two computer labs, two science labs, the Destiny library catalog system, an online payment portal, and an online application system. Differentiated academic offerings include a Bridge Program for remediation, an 8th Grade Honors class featuring Algebra 1 and Living Environment Regents coursework, National Junior Honor Society membership, and Italian language instruction. The athletics program fields multiple basketball teams (Varsity, Tyros, Bantams, Debs, Gidgets) and a 34-student marching band with drumline and cheerleaders, with documented CYO championships and undefeated seasons.

Revenue is generated through a combination of tuition ($5,150/year for parishioners and $5,850/year for non-parishioners per child, paid in 10 monthly installments), a free Universal Pre-K program funded by the NYC Department of Education, an After-Care Program ($2,250/year full-time per child), mandatory fundraisers ($100 fall and $80 spring per family), and a $100 non-refundable application fee. The go-to-market model relies on direct enrollment through the school's website for K-8, the NYC DOE's myschools.nyc placement system for UPK, and parish-based referrals through Fr. James Cruz and the parish bulletin. Marketing channels include the school website, Facebook, X (Twitter), parish bulletins, local Bronx media (Bronx Times Reporter, News 12 The Bronx), and the Archdiocese of New York's Good Newsroom. The school maintains financial partnerships with the Inner-City Scholarship Fund and an internal Middle School Scholarship Program to support need-based and merit-based enrollment.
