However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance, with some schools struggling, particularly in subjects like Chemistry and Geometry. Schools serving a high proportion of English language learners, such as International High School at LaGuardia Community College and Newcomers High School, have much lower proficiency rates on the English Language Arts Regents exam.
