A-Technical High School

Summary:

A-Technical High School is a public high school in Brooklyn, New York, serving 374 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #14, which is ranked 577 out of 866 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

A-Technical High School faces several challenges, including a high concentration of Hispanic (54.55%) and African American (36.1%) students, consistently low statewide rankings (829-1222 out of 1,228 schools), and relatively low graduation rates (81.3%) compared to the state average. The school also has high dropout rates (2.6% to 12.7%) and chronic absenteeism (33.6%), which are significantly higher than nearby schools like Brooklyn Latin School, which ranks 13th out of 1,228 New York high schools and has much stronger academic outcomes. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $25,940, its performance on Regents exams remains lower than the district and state averages.

While A-Technical High School's performance varies among different student subgroups, with the school ranking in the top 3 out of 583 New York high schools for English Language Learners, it struggles to support its African American and Hispanic students, who make up the majority of the student body. Addressing these challenges will require a comprehensive approach to improve the educational environment and meet the unique needs of the school's diverse population.

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.
