Summary:
The 6 high schools located in New York City Geographic District #23 serve students in grades 9-12 and provide a range of educational opportunities. While the schools share some common characteristics, such as consistent graduation and dropout rates, there are notable differences in their academic performance and other key metrics.
Eagle Academy For Young Men II stands out as the top-performing school in the district, with the highest statewide ranking, graduation rate, and test scores that often exceed district and state averages. In contrast, some other schools, like Teachers Preparatory High School and Brooklyn Democracy Academy, struggle with lower proficiency rates on Regents exams. The data also reveals significant disparities in spending per student, with Metropolitan Diploma Plus High School having the highest spending at $29,720 per student.
A common challenge faced by these schools is the high chronic absenteeism rate, which ranges from 34.1% to 34.1% across all 6 schools. This issue may be contributing to the relatively low test scores observed in some of the institutions. Additionally, the high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 81.5% to 94.18%, indicate that these schools serve communities with significant socioeconomic challenges, which is an important context to consider when interpreting their performance metrics.
