Summary:

Opportunity Charter School is the sole public charter high school serving grades 6-12 in its district, located in New York City. With a total enrollment of 379 students, the school is ranked 1205 out of 1234 high schools in New York state for the 2024-2025 school year and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's key metrics paint a concerning picture, with a 84.3% four-year graduation rate, a 4.5% dropout rate, and a 31.5% chronic absenteeism rate for the 2023-2024 school year. Academically, Opportunity Charter School struggles, with significantly lower proficiency rates compared to the state average across all subject areas and grade levels, the highest being 55.56% in Regents/Common Core English Language Arts for the 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, 94.72% of students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the high spending of $30,563 per student and a low student-teacher ratio of 9.3 to 1 for the 2023-2024 school year, Opportunity Charter School is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students. The consistently low academic performance and the challenges faced by the student population suggest that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and support systems to improve student outcomes.
