Summary

New World High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in the Bronx, New York, with 322 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #11, which is ranked 627 out of 874 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Unfortunately, New World High School has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of New York high schools over the past 10 years, with rankings as low as 1087 out of 1242 in 2023-2024. The school's performance across different student subgroups is also concerning, with the school ranking in the bottom 50% of New York high schools for female students, male students, Hispanic students, and special education students. Proficiency rates on Regents exams are significantly lower than the district and state averages, and the school has high dropout and chronic absenteeism rates.

The nearby schools in the same district, such as High School For Contemporary Arts, Bronx Aerospace High School, and Bronx Lab School, also perform poorly, suggesting a broader issue within the district. The high rates of poverty, chronic absenteeism, and low per-student spending at New World High School may be contributing to the school's consistently low academic performance, and there is little evidence of significant improvement over the past 10 years.
