Urban Assembly Institute Of Math And Science For Young Women

Summary:

The Urban Assembly Institute Of Math And Science For Young Women is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in Brooklyn, New York, with a student population of 440. Unfortunately, this school has consistently struggled, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of high schools statewide over the past 10 years.

The school's underperformance extends across various student subgroups, with low proficiency rates on state assessments and Regents exams, as well as high chronic absenteeism rates and dropout rates that are significantly higher than the state average. Nearby schools, such as Dr. Susan S. McKinney Secondary School of the Arts, Urban Assembly School for Law and Justice, and City Polytechnic High School, also face similar challenges, suggesting that the issues at the Urban Assembly Institute Of Math And Science For Young Women may be indicative of broader problems within the New York City Geographic District #13.

Despite increased per-student spending at the school, from $15,055 in 2019-2020 to $18,551 in 2022-2023, the additional resources have not yet translated into significant improvements in student outcomes. The school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, as well as potential staffing challenges, may be contributing factors to the persistent underperformance. Addressing these root causes will be crucial in improving the educational opportunities for the students at the Urban Assembly Institute Of Math And Science For Young Women.

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.
