Summary:
The 6 high schools located in New York City Geographic District # 4 serve students in grades 9-12 and demonstrate a range of academic performance. While Manhattan Center For Science & Mathematics and Central Park East High School stand out as top-performing schools in the district, the other schools face more significant challenges in student achievement and outcomes.
Manhattan Center For Science & Mathematics and Central Park East High School are consistently ranked among the top high schools in New York, with strong test scores and high graduation rates. In contrast, Esperanza Preparatory Academy, Heritage School (The), and Judith S Kaye School (The) generally have lower proficiency rates compared to the district and state averages. The schools also vary in their spending per student and student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to the differences in performance.
A concerning trend across all 6 schools is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%, which likely impacts student outcomes. Additionally, the consistently high percentages of free and reduced-lunch recipients (79-95%) suggest that these are predominantly low-income communities, raising questions about educational equity and access to resources. Overall, the data highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the challenges faced by the schools in New York City Geographic District # 4.
