The Bronx High School of Science (commonly called Bronx Science or Science, and formerly Science High) is a selective public high school in New York City. It is one of 9 "specialized" public high schools located in New York City and operated by New York City Department of Education. Admission to eight of them, including Bronx Science, is based on performance on a standardized examination administered to mainly students in the 8th grade, but also those in the 9th grade. Founded in 1938 in the borough of the Bronx in New York City, it is now situated in an educational area known the Educational Mile in the Bedford Park region in the northwest of the borough of the Bronx in New York City. The exam administered to students in the 8th grade is reportedly taken by more than 20,000 students every year. Although known for its focus on mathematics and science, Bronx Science also emphasizes the humanities and social sciences and continually attracts students (referred to as "Scienceite(s)"〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mission )〕) with a wide variety of interests beyond math and science. Bronx Science has received international recognition〔Examples include the Minister for Education of Singapore citing the school as a paradigm for Singapore's own schools: ; the use of the Bronx Science curriculum as a model for the Manila Science High School in the Philippines : ; and plans for schools in the former Soviet Union, Turkey, Japan, Korea, and China to be developed according to the Bronx Science curriculum: (【引用サイトリンク】title=About Bronx Science – Bronx High School of Science Alumni Association )〕 as one of the best〔See, for example, this: 〕 high schools in the United States, public or private, regularly ranking in the top 100 in ''U.S. News and World Report's'' lists of America's "Gold-Medal" high schools.〔For example, in 2014 they ranked 34th nationwide, 2nd in New York State;(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Bronx High School of Science in BRONX, NY ) 33 in 2008, 58 in 2009. 〕 It attracts an intellectually gifted blend of culturally, ethnically, and economically diverse students from New York City.〔Joseph Berger, "(How Do You Get To Bronx Science? The Yellow Bus; A Private Transportation Service Fosters the Queens Connection" ). ''New York Times'', January 14, 2003.〕 As of 2012, Bronx Science is ranked as one of the " 22 top-performing schools" in America on The Washington Post as well as number 50 out of a list of the best 1,000 high schools in the country on The Daily Beast's "America's Best High Schools"〔() 〕 list. In 2014 it was ranked second highest on ''Cities Journals list of the "15 Best High Schools in New York", along with Stuyvesant (ranked third) and Brooklyn Tech (ranked eighth). Almost all Bronx Science graduates continue on to four-year colleges, and it is a "feeder school" with many graduates going on to attend schools in the Ivy League and other institutions each year.〔("How Gotham’s Elite High Schools Escaped the Leveller’s Ax" ), by Heather Mac Donald, ''City Journal'', Spring 1999.〕 Bronx Science has counted 132 finalists in the Intel (formerly Westinghouse) Science Talent Search, the largest number of any high school.〔(Intel awards )〕 Eight graduates have won Nobel Prizes—more than any other secondary education institution in the United States〔—and six have won Pulitzer Prizes.〔(Bronx Science alumni Nobel and Pulitzer Prize winners )〕〔(Other National Awards )〕 Of the eight Nobel Prizes earned by Bronx Science graduates, seven of them are in physics, which earned Bronx Science a designation by the American Physical Society as an "Historic Physics Site" in 2010.〔 Bronx Science is a member of the National Consortium for Specialized Secondary Schools of Mathematics, Science and Technology (NCSSSMST). Together with Stuyvesant High School and Brooklyn Technical High School, it is one of three original specialized science high schools operated by the New York City Department of Education. ==History==
