Summary

Flushing High School is a public high school in Flushing, New York, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,579 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #25, which is ranked 327 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite its location in a densely populated area with several other high-performing schools, such as Townsend Harris High School and Francis Lewis High School, Flushing High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York high schools, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state assessments and Regents exams lags behind the district and state averages across various student subgroups, and its proficiency rates in core subjects like Algebra I, Geometry, Earth Science, and Chemistry are significantly lower than the district and state averages.

Flushing High School also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 31.5% to 52.2% over the past few years, and dropout rates that are higher than the district and state averages, ranging from 4.0% to 7.6%. Additionally, the school has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 82.37% to 83.75% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While these factors may contribute to the school's underperformance, the proximity to higher-performing schools within the same district suggests that there may be opportunities for collaboration, resource sharing, and learning from best practices to help improve Flushing High School's academic outcomes.
