DeWitt Clinton High School is a public high school located since 1929 in the Bronx borough of New York City. Opened in 1897 in Lower Manhattan as an all-boys school, it maintained that status for 86 years before becoming co-ed in 1983. From its original building on West 13th Street in Manhattan, it moved in 1906 to a new location at 59th Street and Tenth Avenue. In 1929, the school moved to its home on Mosholu Parkway in the Bronx, which more recently has been across from the Bronx High School of Science. After more than a century of operation, DeWitt Clinton High School since the early 2000s has dealt with serious problems of student performance, gang culture, and security.
