Summary

The Academy Of Urban Planning And Engineering (The) is a public high school located in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 432. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #32, which is ranked 743 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school faces significant challenges in academic performance, particularly in core subject areas, with proficiency rates in Regents exams generally lower than the district and state averages. However, the school performs relatively better in subjects like Global History and Geography, U.S. History and Government, and Common Core Algebra II. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 74.4% and 89.6% over the past few years, which is generally lower than the state average, and it has a high chronic absenteeism rate ranging from 31.5% to 54.5% in recent years.

Compared to nearby schools, the Academy Of Urban Planning And Engineering (The) is on par with or slightly better than the Bushwick Leaders High School for Academic Excellence and Bushwick Community High School, but lags behind the higher-performing Brooklyn School for Math and Research and All City Leadership Secondary School, which are also located in the same area. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $28,600, which is significantly higher than the state average, its academic performance and outcomes do not seem to be commensurate with the higher funding.
