Summary

Long Island City High School is a public high school serving 1,860 students in grades 9-12 in Long Island City, New York. Despite increased per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio in recent years, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New York high schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Long Island City High School significantly underperforms compared to the New York City Geographic District #30 and state averages on Regents exams across all subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 8.77% of students were proficient in Regents Chemistry, compared to 33.09% in the district and 64.53% statewide. The school's 4-year graduation rate has hovered around 84% in recent years, on par with the district average but below the state average, and its dropout rate of around 4.5% is higher than the district and state. Additionally, Long Island City High School has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 31.5% to 45% in recent years, significantly exceeding the district and state averages.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the same district, such as Young Women's Leadership School - Astoria, Energy Technical High School, and Frank Sinatra School of the Arts High School, generally outperform Long Island City High School on academic metrics, graduation rates, and other key indicators. This suggests the challenges at Long Island City High School are not solely due to district-level factors. Despite the increased investment in the school, with per-student spending rising from $15,654 in 2020-2021 to $34,602 in 2023-2024, these improvements have not translated to better academic outcomes or other key performance indicators.
