Located almost directly on the Hastings/Yonkers border, the Greenburgh Graham School District is an academic intervention campus that also serves as a residential youth detention facility. Between the district's two schools, Ziccolella Elementary-Middle School and Martin Luther King Jr. High School, there are currently 324 students, 160 of whom are residential.
Students at Greenburgh Graham have been deemed "underserved" by their home districts and many come with specific special education requirements. The school offers a full academic program, including a "credit-recovery" program for students lacking the core academic courses needed to graduate by New York State standards. The school is in session year-round.
"Our Superintendent Amy Goodman is a true innovator," said Academic Interventions Coordinator Andrea Byrne. "She believes the children in this district are entitled to everything students have in other districts."
The mission of the school is for students to realize their undeveloped academic strengths and grow emotionally during their time there.
