Summary:
The data set provided contains information about a single high school, Northside Charter High School, which serves grades 9-12 in the Northside Charter High School district. Despite the school's charter status, it is consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in New York, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger and a statewide ranking between 1142-1177 out of around 1,230-1,240 high schools over the past 3 school years.
Northside Charter High School's academic performance is concerning, with significantly below-average test scores across all subject areas, a 4-year graduation rate of 84.3%, and a high dropout rate of 4.5% for the 2023-2024 school year. Chronic absenteeism is also a significant issue, at 31.5% for the same school year. The school has a high percentage of students eligible for free/reduced lunch, though the exact percentage is not provided.
Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $23,528 and a low student-teacher ratio of 13:1, the school is struggling to provide a high-quality education for its students. Further investigation would be needed to understand the root causes of the school's challenges and identify potential areas for improvement, such as curriculum, instructional practices, student support services, or school leadership.
