Summary:
New York City Geographic District #29 is home to 11 high schools serving students in grades 9-12. The district as a whole is ranked 574 out of 865 in New York state and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. While the schools vary in size, with student populations ranging from 245 to 643, a few standout institutions emerge based on the data.
At the top of the district are Pathways College Preparatory School: A College Board School and Preparatory Academy For Writers: A College Board School, both of which rank among the highest in the state and have strong test scores, graduation rates, and low dropout rates. Another high-performing school is Health Arts Robotics And Technology High School, a magnet school with impressive proficiency in several subject areas.
However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps between the top-performing schools and lower-performing institutions like Cambria Heights Academy and Queens Preparatory Academy. Addressing these disparities, as well as the district-wide chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1%, should be priorities for New York City Geographic District #29 leaders. By leveraging the success of the district's magnet schools and ensuring equitable resource allocation, the schools in this area can work to improve outcomes for all students.
