Summary:
Williamsburg Charter High School is the sole high school located in the Williamsburg Charter High School district. This school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New York high schools over the past 3 years, with a 0-1 star rating from SchoolDigger indicating very poor performance compared to other schools in the state.
Williamsburg Charter High School has a 4-year graduation rate of 84.3%, which is below the state average, and a high dropout rate of 4.9%. Chronic absenteeism is also high at 34.1%, well above the state average. The school's student proficiency rates on Regents/Common Core exams are significantly below the state averages across all subject areas, particularly in math where proficiency ranges from 5.37% to 31.58% compared to the state average of 57.44% to 74.04%.
Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $16,806, its academic performance remains very low, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be enough to drive meaningful improvements. The high percentage of students (87.4%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, coupled with the school's poor academic outcomes, raises concerns about educational equity and the ability of the school to adequately support its high-need student population. Addressing the school's challenges will likely require a multi-faceted approach that focuses on implementing effective, evidence-based strategies to improve teaching, learning, and student support.
