Summary:
The 10 high schools located in New York City Geographic District # 6 serve students in grades 9-12 and vary significantly in their academic performance, student demographics, and other key metrics. While some schools, like City College Academy of the Arts and Gregorio Luperon High School for Science and Mathematics, stand out for their high graduation rates and strong academic achievement, others, such as High School for Excellence and Innovation, struggle with low graduation rates and poor performance on state assessments.
Across the district, chronic absenteeism is a significant issue, with some schools reporting rates as high as 81.1%. This, combined with the high rates of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (ranging from 84.72% to 98.54%), suggests that many students in this district face substantial socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting their academic success. Additionally, the wide range in per-student spending, from $17,136 at City College Academy of the Arts to $28,106 at High School for Excellence and Innovation, raises questions about the relationship between resource allocation and student outcomes.
Overall, the data highlights the complex challenges facing high schools in New York City Geographic District # 6 and the need for targeted, data-driven interventions to address the significant disparities in academic performance and student outcomes across the district. Addressing issues such as chronic absenteeism, socioeconomic barriers, and equitable resource distribution will be crucial in ensuring that all students in this district have access to high-quality educational opportunities.
