Victory Collegiate High School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New York high schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lowest-performing high schools in the state. The school performs particularly poorly for its male, African American, and Hispanic student populations, ranking in the bottom 20-25% of New York high schools for these subgroups.

While Victory Collegiate High School struggles across a range of metrics, the nearby schools in the same district generally perform at a similar level, with most ranked in the bottom 15-20% of New York high schools. However, one school, Brooklyn Bridge Academy, stands out as a relative high performer, ranking in the top 35% of New York high schools and significantly outperforming Victory Collegiate High School and the other nearby schools. This suggests that Victory Collegiate High School may have some effective practices for its homeless student population that could be leveraged to improve outcomes for other student groups.

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.
