The city closes Adlai E. Stevenson High School, and new specialty schools take over its building
The New York City Department of Education shut Adlai E. Stevenson High School at 1980 Lafayette Avenue in June 2009, citing high truancy, violence and a low graduation rate. Under the New Century Schools initiative, new specialty schools were set up in the building, among them Bronx Community, Bronx Bridges, Millennium Art Academy, Gotham Collaborative, Bronx Compass and the Antonia Pantoja Preparatory Academy.
