Summary:
The high schools located in New York City Geographic District #23 serve students in grades 9-12 and showcase a range of academic performance. While some schools, like Eagle Academy For Young Men II, demonstrate strong results, others struggle with lower test scores and high chronic absenteeism rates across the district.
Eagle Academy For Young Men II stands out as the top-performing school in the district, ranking 673 out of 1,234 New York high schools and boasting the highest graduation rate at 84.3% and the lowest dropout rate at 4.5%. The school also excels in test scores, outperforming the district and state averages across multiple subject areas and grade levels. In contrast, schools like Teachers Preparatory High School and Brooklyn Democracy Academy struggle with lower proficiency rates on Regents exams.
Despite the disparities in academic performance, all six high schools in the district share some common characteristics, including a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 82.4% to 94.95%. Additionally, the district-wide chronic absenteeism rate is consistently high at 31.5%, which is a concerning trend that warrants further investigation and intervention. The data also reveals that increased spending per student does not necessarily translate to stronger academic outcomes, as the schools with the highest spending per student do not necessarily have the best performance.
