High Schools in New York City Geographic District # 8

Summary:

The 17 high schools located in New York City Geographic District # 8 serve grades 9-12, with a few also including grades 6-8. The district as a whole is ranked 722 out of 865 districts in New York state and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. While the schools vary in size, with student populations ranging from 114 to 1,071, the data reveals a wide range of academic performance across the district.

Bronx Bridges High School stands out with relatively strong performance across several metrics, including the highest proficiency rates in Regents/Common Core Algebra I, Regents/Common Core Algebra II, and Regents/Global History and Geography. Additionally, the school has a high 4-year graduation rate of 84.3% and a low dropout rate of 4.9%. Another standout is Millenium Art Academy, which has the highest 4-year graduation rate and the lowest chronic absenteeism rate among the schools. It also performs well on Regents exams, with high proficiency rates in Regents/Common Core English Language Arts and Regents/Global History and Geography.

The data also reveals significant variation in academic performance across the district, with some schools significantly outperforming the district and state averages, while others struggle. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and resources, such as school leadership, teaching quality, and student engagement, play a crucial role in student outcomes. The high rates of chronic absenteeism and free/reduced-price lunch participation across the district also present challenges that require targeted interventions and support to improve outcomes for all students.
