High Schools in New York City Geographic District #10


Summary:

New York City Geographic District #10 contains 29 high schools serving students in grades 9-12. The district is located in the Bronx and encompasses a diverse range of schools, from highly-ranked magnet schools to those struggling with low academic performance.

The Bronx High School of Science and High School of American Studies at Lehman College stand out as exceptional, ranking 8th and 10th in the state respectively. These schools boast impressive Regents exam proficiency rates, with many subjects seeing over 95% of students scoring proficient or better. In contrast, schools like West Bronx Academy for the Future, Fordham Leadership Academy, and Bronx Academy for Software Engineering (BASE) struggle, with many subjects seeing less than 30% of students scoring proficient.

Overall, the data reveals significant disparities in educational quality and outcomes within New York City Geographic District #10. While the district's graduation and dropout rates match the state average, the chronic absenteeism rate is quite high at 31.5%. Spending per student varies widely, from $20,486 at the Bronx High School of Science to $42,803 at the High School for Teaching and the Professions, but higher spending does not necessarily translate to better performance. Addressing these inequities will require a multifaceted approach targeting funding, resources, and targeted support for struggling schools.
