High School For Teaching And The Professions

Summary:

High School For Teaching And The Professions is a public high school serving 380 students in grades 9-12 in the Bronx, New York, which is part of the New York City Geographic District #10.

The school faces significant challenges, with a predominantly Hispanic student population (78.68%) and consistently ranking in the bottom quarter of New York high schools, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the school has shown signs of improvement, with its four-year graduation rate increasing from 71.4% in 2019-2020 to 91.6% in 2022-2023, and its dropout rate decreasing from 12.7% in 2018-2019 to 2.0% in 2022-2023. The school's performance on Regents exams remains below the district and state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 0% to 49.31% across different subject areas. Compared to nearby schools like Bronx High School Of Science (The), Belmont Preparatory High School, and Fordham High School For The Arts, High School For Teaching And The Professions generally has lower statewide rankings, poorer test scores, and a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (88.68% in 2022-2023).

Despite the school's challenges, it has a high spending per student ($26,200 in 2022-2023) compared to nearby schools, which may indicate a need to evaluate the effectiveness of resource allocation and identify areas for improvement. The school has also seen a significant decrease in chronic absenteeism, from 50.7% in 2021-2022 to 26.2% in 2022-2023, which may have contributed to the improvement in graduation rates. To continue this positive trajectory, the school and district may need to closely examine the factors contributing to the performance of different student subgroups and explore ways to optimize resource allocation and instructional practices to better support student success.

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.
