East Upper High School faces significant challenges in terms of student engagement, academic achievement, and socioeconomic factors. The school's 4-year graduation rate has ranged from 62.8% to 85.1% in recent years, which is significantly lower than the state average of around 80%. Additionally, the school has an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 34.1% to 72.7%, much higher than the state average. East Upper High School's performance on Regents/Common Core exams is consistently well below the state and district averages across all subject areas, with proficiency rates ranging from 12.94% to 57.83% in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to state averages of 31.42% to 78.55%. The school serves a highly disadvantaged population, with 81.86% to 85.39% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

However, there are some bright spots at East Upper High School. When compared to other nearby schools in the Rochester City School District, such as School of the Arts, East Upper High School's performance metrics are consistently lower. Additionally, the school's English Language Learner (ELL) students and homeless students perform relatively better, ranking in the top 30-40% and top 30% of New York high schools, respectively, in recent years. This suggests the school may be providing more effective support for these specific student populations.

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.
