The school's 4-year graduation rate has ranged from 78.6% to 84.3%, below the state average, and its dropout rate has ranged from 1.5% to 5.7%, higher than the state average.

Addressing chronic absenteeism and closing equity gaps should be key priorities for the school and district.

Very nice school but you need a real website and occasional open houses. You also need to make sure you focus on other subjects besides science, for example, math, social studies,and english language arts. You should also add more languages to learn, for example, sign language, french, and italian. I'm not sure if you have gym but you should. You should have more sports for both girls and boys. You also need more clubs and offer more partnerships. When I looked your school up it said it was a regular school but your very much lagging in regular school qualities. If you do have any of the stuff I typed in your school, you should probably list it in the brooklyn public high schools book. Close Quote
