Broome Street Academy Charter High School is the only high school located in this area. This school serves grades 9-12 and is part of the Broome Street Academy Charter High School district. The school appears to be struggling academically, with a low statewide ranking, poor test scores, high absenteeism, and high dropout rates compared to other New York high schools.
Broome Street Academy Charter High School has been ranked in the bottom 10% of New York high schools for the past 3 school years and has a 0 out of 5 star rating from School Digger, indicating it is performing well below average. The school had a 31.5% chronic absenteeism rate in the 2023-2024 school year, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Despite the high spending per student ($29,224 in 2022-2023) and low student-teacher ratio (9.9 to 1), the school is not translating those resources into strong academic outcomes for students. Proficiency rates on Regents exams were significantly lower than the state average, with only 19.64% of students proficient in Algebra I compared to 56.07% statewide. The school serves a high-need population, with 87.29% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Addressing the root causes of the school's poor performance and implementing targeted interventions will be crucial to improving student achievement and engagement.
