Young Women's Leadership School

Q: Is Young Women's Leadership School a good school?

Young Women's Leadership School ranks 688 th of 1242 New York high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

The Young Women's Leadership School is a public high school serving grades 6-12 with around 500 students in New York City's District #3. The school is focused on providing a high-quality education for young women, with a particular emphasis on supporting the academic achievement of African American and homeless students.

While the school performs relatively well for these historically underserved student populations, ranking 170th and 117th respectively out of all New York high schools, its overall academic performance lags behind the district and state averages. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments and Regents exams are generally lower than its peers, particularly in math. However, the school's per-student spending of $23,695 is higher than the nearby schools, which range from $14,095 to $28,121 per student, suggesting the school may have access to more resources and funding compared to its neighbors.

Interestingly, the Wadleigh Perf And Visual Arts, Frederick Douglass Academy II Secondary School, and Innovation Diploma Plus schools, which are located in close proximity to the Young Women's Leadership School, generally have lower academic performance and higher rates of free/reduced-price lunch eligibility compared to the Young Women's Leadership School. This suggests the school may be effective at supporting the academic achievement of its specific student population, despite its overall performance 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.

Students eligible for free or discounted lunch at Young Women's Leadership School

Data source: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Dept of Education.

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.
