Parents of 190 children now know where their kids will be going to school next year.
The Upper West Success Academy charter school won a ruling Friday that will allow it to move into the Brandeis High School Building on the Upper West Side.
The school will share space with five other public high schools.
The academy is part of the high-performing Success Network run by former City Councilwoman Eva Moskowitz.
Lawsuits were trying to keep the school out of the Brandeis building, but officials from the Department of Education said it had plenty of space.
In a statement, Moskowitz said her organization is excited to get to work and show people that charter schools can benefit all children.
A lawyer for the public high school parents and students said they'll consider all available options to them.
