George Westinghouse Career And Technical Educational High School

Summary:

George Westinghouse Career And Technical Educational High School is a public high school in Brooklyn, New York, serving 579 students in grades 9-12. The school's student population is predominantly African American (64.08%) and Hispanic (27.29%), reflecting the broader demographic trends in the surrounding New York City Geographic District #13.

While George Westinghouse Career And Technical Educational High School has maintained relatively strong graduation rates, ranging from 89.1% to 95.9% over the past five years, the school faces several challenges. Its chronic absenteeism rate has been high, ranging from 39.8% to 56.0% in the past two years, which is significantly higher than nearby schools like Dr Susan S McKinney Secondary School Of The Arts, City Polytechnic High School, and Urban Assembly School For Law And Justice (The). Additionally, the school's test scores on Regents exams are generally lower than the New York City Geographic District #13 and New York state averages across various subject areas.

The challenges faced by George Westinghouse Career And Technical Educational High School appear to be systemic within the district, as the nearby schools have similar demographic profiles and performance metrics. While the school's spending per student has increased from $15,840 in 2019-2020 to $22,567 in 2022-2023, which is higher than the nearby schools, this increased spending has not yet translated into significantly improved academic outcomes. The high chronic absenteeism rate and potential racial disparities in educational outcomes suggest the need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying issues and improve the educational experience for all students.

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.

This school is excellent and as a parent of a child that attends this school I am very happy with this school and faculty even with the regents exams that inside schools stated that students do not pass I support the school because they are very supportive and students do pass these exams.

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.
