Academy Of Urban Planning And Engineering (The)

Summary:

The Academy Of Urban Planning And Engineering (The) is a public high school located in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 403. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #32, which is ranked 764 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of New York high schools over the past 10 years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in the state. Its performance is particularly low for female, male, and white student groups, but it performs better for African American and Hispanic students, as well as English Language Learners and Homeless students. The school's 4-year graduation rate has ranged from 79-94.7%, which is below the state average, and its dropout rate has been between 4.9-10%, higher than the state average. The school's proficiency rates on Regents/Common Core exams are generally below the district and state averages across all subject areas, with particularly poor performance in Algebra I, Geometry, and Physics.

The nearby schools in the same district generally perform at a similar low level, but there are a few exceptions, such as the Brooklyn School For Math And Research (The) and All City Leadership Secondary School, which perform better and are ranked in the middle 50% of state high schools. The school's high-poverty student population and relatively high per-student spending suggest that additional resources are being directed to the school, but this has not translated into improved academic outcomes. However, the school's stronger performance for certain student subgroups indicates that targeted interventions and support can be effective, and collaboration with higher-performing nearby schools could provide opportunities for sharing best practices and learning from their success.

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.
