When comparing Northeast College Preparatory High School to other nearby schools, such as Edison Career and Technology High School, another Rochester City School District high school, it becomes clear that Northeast College Preparatory High School is an outlier in terms of performance. The school's location in the low-performing Rochester City School District, as well as the high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds and the high proportion of minority students, likely contribute to the school's challenges. Despite the school's consistently low performance, there is little evidence of significant improvement over the past decade, raising serious concerns about the long-term outcomes and opportunities for the students attending the school.

This school is supposed to be one of the "better" schools in Rochester, NY and in fact it is not. The students are out of control and the "security staff" is more worried about being the students friends than worrying about the safety of the students. The Principal is never seen as she is always in her office & the assistant principals have to much to deal with everyday to worry about the students and their education.

They allow these children to get away with assaulting other students with NO disciplinary actions taken. Believe it or not there are students who actually want to learn and graduate high school and further their education. But when you have misfits running a muck around the school disrupting other students learning, it's by far the hardest thing for a student to do is focus on their studies! Close Quote
