Academy-Scholarship & Entrepreneurship has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of New York high schools over the past 10 years, with a ranking between 973 and 1137 out of around 1200-1250 high schools. The school has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years, with a 0-star rating in 2014-2015 and 2022-2023. The school's performance is particularly low for female students, ranking in the bottom 15% of New York high schools, while male students rank in the bottom 25%. The school's performance is better for African American and Hispanic students, ranking in the bottom 40-50% of high schools, but still below average.

While Academy-Scholarship & Entrepreneurship has a relatively high per-student spending of around $19,000-$20,600 in recent years, which is higher than the state average, and a lower student-teacher ratio of around 13:1, these factors do not seem to have a significant positive impact on the school's academic performance.

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.

Open Quote Our business classes are very important to me and I know I would not be receiving education on entrepreneurship, marketing and economics in many other highschools. Teachers are good and you can succeed here and be an honors student when you put your mind to it. Thankfully my experience here overall has been well. Close Quote

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.
