World Journalism Preparatory: A College Board School

Summary:

World Journalism Preparatory: A College Board School is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in Flushing, New York, with a student population of 611 and a student-teacher ratio of 13.1. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #25, which is ranked 320 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

World Journalism Preparatory consistently outperforms the district and state averages in English Language Arts and Math assessments across grades 6-8, and it performs particularly well in Regents exams for Global History and Geography, Common Core English Language Arts, and U.S. History and Government. However, the school struggles in some subject areas, such as Algebra I, Chemistry, and Physics. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Asian and Hispanic students performing better than White and low-income students. Additionally, the school has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, which may be impacting its overall academic performance.

When compared to other high schools in the same district and nearby districts, World Journalism Preparatory generally performs better than Flushing High School and Queens Academy High School, but lags behind higher-performing schools like Francis Lewis High School and Benjamin N. Cardozo High School. As a College Board school, World Journalism Preparatory's focus on college preparation may be a strength, but the school's performance on Regents exams suggests room for improvement in preparing students for college-level work.

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.
