Summary

The Urban Assembly School For Applied Math And Science (The) is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in the Bronx, New York, with a student population of 570. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #9, which is ranked 750 out of 874 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The Urban Assembly School has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of New York high schools over the past 10 years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in the state. The school's performance is particularly low for male, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, ranking in the bottom 20-25% of New York high schools for these subgroups. The school's 4-year graduation rate has been around 78-84% in recent years, which is below the state average, and it has very low proficiency rates on state assessments and Regents exams.

While the nearby Bronx Center for Science and Mathematics performs significantly better, ranking in the top 50% of New York high schools, the Urban Assembly School's performance for its homeless student population is notably stronger, ranking in the top 35-40% of New York high schools. However, the school faces significant challenges, including very high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 31.5% to 69.4% in recent years, which likely contribute to its low academic performance and graduation rates.
