High Schools in New York City Geographic District # 2


Summary:

New York City Geographic District #2 is home to 69 high schools serving a diverse student population. The schools in this district vary significantly in their academic performance, with some ranking among the top schools in the state while others struggle to meet proficiency standards.

The standout schools in the district include Stuyvesant High School, which is consistently ranked as one of the top high schools in New York, as well as High School For Dual Language And Asian Studies and Millennium High School, which also perform exceptionally well. On the other hand, schools like Urban Assembly School Of Business For Young Women, Independence High School, and Murry Bergtraum High School For Business Careers struggle to meet proficiency standards.

The data reveals a stark divide in academic performance within the district, with the top-performing schools consistently outpacing their lower-performing counterparts. While per-student spending varies widely, it does not appear to directly correlate with academic outcomes. Additionally, chronic absenteeism is a significant concern across the district, with an average rate of 31.5%. The data suggests that specialized schools, such as those focused on the arts, business, or language/diplomacy, tend to outperform more general high schools in the district, and that socioeconomic factors play a key role in student outcomes.
