Summary:
Health Sciences Charter School is the only high school located within the Health Sciences Charter School district. This school serves grades 9-12 and is situated in New York. Based on the available data, Health Sciences Charter School appears to be an underperforming institution, facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
The school is ranked 1004 out of 1242 New York high schools for the 2023-2024 school year, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its 4-year graduation rate of 84.3% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 4.9% is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 34.1% is significantly higher than the state average. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on Regents/Common Core exams are generally lower than the state averages, with the exception of Algebra I and English Language Arts.
The data also suggests that the school serves a high-need student population, with 78.48% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While the school's spending per student ($12,282) is slightly higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 14.5 is slightly lower, these resources do not appear to be effectively translating into improved student outcomes. Addressing the unique challenges faced by this high-need student population and optimizing resource allocation could be key focus areas for the school to improve its performance and provide a better educational experience for its students.
