Urban Assembly School For Emergency Management (The)

Summary:

The Urban Assembly School For Emergency Management (The) is a public magnet high school serving grades 9-12 in New York City's New York City Geographic District # 2, with a student population of 309. Despite its specialized focus, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of New York high schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

The school's academic performance, as measured by Regents/Common Core exam proficiency rates, is significantly lower than the district and state averages across most subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates were just 5.88% in Algebra I, 0% in Geometry, and 23.4% in Living Environment, compared to district averages of 32.96%, 49.81%, and 65.94%, respectively. The school's four-year graduation rate has also fluctuated between 80.3% and 95.9% in recent years, lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 34.1% to 53% in recent years, significantly higher than the district and state averages.

Interestingly, the Urban Assembly School For Emergency Management (The) is located in close proximity to several other high schools, including Pace High School, High School Of Economics & Finance, and Murry Bergtraum High School For Business Careers, which share the same district and have similar demographic and socioeconomic characteristics, but their academic performance and outcomes vary significantly. Despite the school's higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio compared to the district and state averages, these factors do not seem to translate into better academic outcomes for the Urban Assembly School For Emergency Management (The).

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.
