Summary:

New Heights Academy Charter School is the sole public charter high school serving grades 5-12 in the New Heights Academy Charter School district in New York City. With a total enrollment of 712 students, the school faces some challenges, including lower-than-average graduation rates, higher dropout rates, and a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate compared to the state average.

Academically, the school's performance is mixed, with some subject areas and grade levels performing above the state averages, while others are significantly below. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics vary across grades, and its Regents exam results show a similar pattern of uneven performance. Additionally, the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, with 87.36% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite these challenges, the school's per-student spending is higher than the state average, and the student-teacher ratio is slightly higher than the state average. These factors suggest that the school may have the resources to address its areas of concern and work towards improving student outcomes. By focusing on its strengths and addressing its weaknesses, New Heights Academy Charter School can strive to better serve its students and community.
