New Visions Charter High School-Adv Ma/Sci II stands out for its exceptional academic performance, with a high four-year graduation rate of 98.5% and a low dropout rate of 0.7%, both significantly better than state averages. The school's diverse student population is predominantly Hispanic (50.7%) and African American (44.87%), with a large majority (90.14%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Despite these challenges, the school spends $24,978 per student, higher than the state average, and maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.1 to 1, which likely contributes to its strong academic outcomes.

However, the school does face one area of concern: a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate of 35.9%. This is an issue that the school may need to address to ensure that all students are consistently attending and engaged in their education. Overall, New Visions Charter High School-Adv Ma/Sci II appears to be a high-performing institution that is effectively supporting its diverse and economically disadvantaged student population, though the high chronic absenteeism rate is an area that may require further attention and intervention.
