Maspeth High School has consistently ranked in the middle range of New York high schools, with its performance on Regents exams being mixed. The school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 82.3% to 95.3% in recent years, which is generally on par with or slightly above the district and state averages. However, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with Asian, White, and Multi-racial students performing relatively lower compared to Hispanic and English Language Learner students. Maspeth High School's high chronic absenteeism and fluctuating dropout rates also indicate potential issues with student engagement and attendance, which could be impacting the school's overall academic performance.

Compared to nearby schools, Maspeth High School generally performs on par with or slightly better than other high schools in the same district, such as Grover Cleveland High School and High School for Arts and Business. However, the school lags behind some higher-performing schools in the neighboring District #28, such as Queens Metropolitan High School, which has stronger Regents exam proficiency rates and a higher overall ranking. Continued focus on targeted interventions, resource allocation, and addressing the unique needs of the school's diverse student body could be key to improving Maspeth High School's overall performance and 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.
