Summary

Leadership & Public Service High School is a public high school in New York City's District 2, serving grades 9-12 with an enrollment of 262 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York high schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Leadership & Public Service High School struggles compared to district and state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school had significantly lower proficiency rates than the district and state in core subjects like Algebra II, Living Environment, and Algebra I. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 80-90% in recent years, below the district and state averages, and its dropout rate has been higher. Additionally, the school has very high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching as high as 62.7% in 2023-2024, which is significantly worse than the district and state.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the same district, such as Urban Assembly-Early Coll High School Emer Md, Urban Assembly Maker Academy, and Manhattan Early College School For Advertising, generally outperform Leadership & Public Service High School academically. Despite relatively high per-student spending and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school has not been able to translate these resources into improved student outcomes.

School is improving at a quick rate.
It's becoming more of a school like atmosphere with more school trips, better schedules, and you also get out at 12:45 PM on Wednesday's.

The security is a bit too low, it's extremely easy to cut class however they may find out due to the new jumprope system this year. The school is really trying there best to make the school a lot better. Close Quote
