High Schools in New York City Geographic District #12

Summary:

New York City Geographic District #12 is home to 15 high schools serving students in grades 9-12. The district as a whole is ranked 760 out of 874 in New York state and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant challenges across the schools.

While the majority of schools in the district perform poorly on state assessments and Regents exams, with most ranking in the bottom quarter of New York high schools, a few schools stand out as potential bright spots. Pan American International High School At Monroe has the highest statewide ranking in the district, ranking 759 out of 1,242 New York high schools and receiving a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Similarly, High School Of World Cultures has the second-highest statewide ranking in the district, ranking 774 out of 1,234 New York high schools and also receiving a 2-star rating.

Across the district, the schools face significant equity concerns, with extremely high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 90.31% to 97.47%. This suggests the student population faces significant socioeconomic challenges that likely contribute to the overall low academic performance. Additionally, the district struggles with consistently high chronic absenteeism rates of 31.5%, which is another key factor impacting student outcomes. While the district as a whole faces systemic challenges, understanding the factors that contribute to the relative success of the standout schools could provide valuable insights for improving educational outcomes across New York City Geographic District #12.
