High Schools in New York City Geographic District #25

Summary:

New York City Geographic District #25 is home to 12 high schools serving students in grades 9-12. The district as a whole is ranked 327 out of 874 in New York state and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. While the schools vary in size, with student populations ranging from 105 to 2,741, several standout performers emerge from the data.

Townsend Harris High School consistently ranks among the top high schools in New York, currently ranked 121 out of 1,234 statewide. It has exceptional test scores, with over 90% proficiency in many subject areas, and a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5%. The East-West School of International Studies and Queens High School for Language Studies also demonstrate strong academic profiles, with high proficiency rates on state assessments and Regents exams.

However, many of the schools in the district struggle with subjects like Geometry, Earth Science, and Living Environment, indicating a need for targeted academic support and intervention in these areas. The high rates of free/reduced lunch across the district suggest that the schools serve a predominantly low-income population, which may present unique challenges and require additional resources and support. The variation in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios across the schools could also be an area for further investigation to understand how resource allocation and staffing levels may be impacting academic outcomes.
