Business Of Sports School

Summary:

The Business Of Sports School is a public magnet high school located in New York City's District #2, serving grades 9-12 with an enrollment of 447 students. Despite its specialized focus, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New York high schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance is significantly below the district and state averages across most subject areas, with only 39.58% of students proficient in Regents/Common Core Algebra I, compared to 32.96% in the district and 31.42% statewide. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 80.3% and 90.7%, lower than the district and state averages, and its dropout rate has ranged from 2.3% to 10.0%, higher than the surrounding schools. Additionally, the school has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 34.1% to 78.3%, significantly higher than the district and state averages.

The Business Of Sports School performs significantly worse than the nearby Urban Assembly Gateway School For Technology, Stephen T Mather Building Arts And Craftmanship High School, and Manhattan Bridges High School, all located within the same district. These schools generally have higher academic proficiency rates, graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism. While the Business Of Sports School serves a high-need population, with 84.26% to 87.47% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the additional funding does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes, suggesting the need for a comprehensive approach to address the school's challenges.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
