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.

As a student at High School of Telecommunications Arts and Technology, I can say that this school sucks academically. If you’re looking for good college opportunities in this school, I suggest you look somewhere else. Just look at the mediocre colleges these seniors get into. It has almost been a year, and I haven’t learned anything that seemed challenging or required a lot of critical thinking. Going in to this school I thought I was gonna be experiencing obstacles that made me expand my knowledge, yet I haven’t faced anything close to what I depicted. It was honestly surprising to see how easy it was to get 90s and above in this school. I definitely still worked hard neither the less, I just hoped their was more I could do. This school doesn’t offer a lot of AP courses, and overall have horrible exam scores. If you can’t apply for anything else, I suggest Fort Hamilton High School(better exam scores). In the course of one year, my Geometry teacher has taught me nothing but useless 8th grade math. It was making me frustrated, I felt like I learned more in middle school. It made me felt more stupid then before. However, the teachers and staff are super friendly so it's kind of easy to find someone to talk to. They are super helpful, and I guess that makes up for the lack of grades. The Software Engineering Program is super neat too. Some suggestions I can make are to offer more programs such as a Honors Program for students who actually care about education. I would also suggest hiring teachers who take classes seriously, and not just something they do because of money. On a scale of one to ten this school is a four. Close Quote

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.
