Summary:
The 7 high schools located in New York City Geographic District # 4 serve students in grades 9-12 and vary significantly in their academic performance, student demographics, and resource allocation. While some schools like Manhattan Center For Science & Mathematics and Central Park East High School consistently rank among the top high schools in New York, others like Judith S Kaye School (The) struggle with low graduation rates and academic performance.
The top-performing schools in the district boast impressive Regents exam results, high graduation rates, and diverse student populations. Manhattan Center For Science & Mathematics and Central Park East High School both rank in the top 30% of New York high schools, with graduation rates exceeding 97% and students scoring well above district and state averages on Regents exams. In contrast, Judith S Kaye School (The) struggles with a 43% four-year graduation rate and 6.9% dropout rate, as well as significantly lower test scores, particularly in math.
The data also reveals stark disparities in funding and resources across the district, with Judith S Kaye School (The) spending over $40,000 per student, while Manhattan Center For Science & Mathematics spends less than half that amount. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving academic outcomes, and other factors such as school leadership, teacher quality, and student support services likely play a crucial role in driving student success.
