Summary:
The 8 high schools located in New York City Geographic District #32 serve students in grades 9-12 and face significant performance challenges, particularly in terms of academic proficiency and chronic absenteeism. While a few schools, such as All City Leadership Secondary School and Brooklyn School For Math And Research (The), stand out with higher statewide rankings and stronger test scores, the district as a whole struggles with low proficiency rates on Regents exams and high rates of chronic absenteeism.
The data reveals a significant performance gap between the schools and the district/state averages, with proficiency rates on Regents exams ranging from 0% to 65.85% across the schools, compared to the district average of 29.05% and the state average of 31.42%. This suggests that targeted interventions and additional support may be needed to help these schools and students succeed. Additionally, the high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 77.43% to 94.59%, indicate that these schools serve a predominantly low-income student population with significant resource needs.
Funding disparities may also be a contributing factor, as the per-student spending across the district ranges from $14,371 to $40,731. The chronic absenteeism rates, which range from 34.1% to 34.1%, are another significant concern and likely impact the overall academic performance of these schools. Overall, the data paints a picture of a district facing significant challenges, but with a few standout schools that may provide valuable insights and best practices for improving outcomes for all students in the area.
