Summary:

School For Human Rights (The) is a public high school in Brooklyn, New York, serving 184 students in grades 9-12. The school has a predominantly African American student population and faces significant academic and operational challenges, with consistently low performance on standardized tests, high dropout rates, and high chronic absenteeism.

The school's performance on Regents exams is significantly below the New York City Geographic District #17 and state averages, and its four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 69.8% and 85.9% over the past five years, which is lower than the district and state averages.

Interestingly, nearby schools such as Medgar Evers College Preparatory School and Science Technology & Research Early College have significantly higher academic performance, graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism rates compared to School For Human Rights (The), despite serving student populations with similar demographic and socioeconomic characteristics. This suggests that the challenges faced by School For Human Rights (The) may be unique to the school itself rather than the broader community, and may require targeted interventions and support to address its underlying issues and improve student outcomes.

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.
