Research And Service High School

Summary:

Research And Service High School is a public high school located in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 181 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #16, which is ranked 676 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Research And Service High School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of New York high schools over the past several years, receiving a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school struggles across various metrics, including student group performance, with African American and Hispanic students, as well as special education and low-income students, performing very poorly compared to the state. Graduation rates have been very low, ranging from 28.4% to 85.1%, and dropout rates have been high, ranging from 4.9% to 10.0%. Chronic absenteeism rates have also been extremely high, ranging from 34.1% to 91.1%. Proficiency rates on Regents/Common Core exams are significantly lower than the district and state averages across all subject areas.

While Research And Service High School has relatively high per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio, these factors do not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes. The nearby schools, such as Brooklyn High School for Law and Technology, Brooklyn Academy of Global Finance, and Nelson Mandela High School, also perform poorly compared to the state, but generally outperform Research And Service High School across various metrics. The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at Research And Service High School, ranging from 83.98% to 90.65%, indicate that the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may contribute to the academic 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.

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.
