Summary

Talent Unlimited High School is a public high school in New York City's District #2, serving 446 students in grades 9-12. The school has consistently received 2-3 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger, placing it in the middle range of New York high schools.

While Talent Unlimited High School has some areas of strength, it faces several challenges. The school's test scores are generally lower than the district and state averages, with significantly lower proficiency rates in subjects like Algebra II, Geometry, and Living Environment. Additionally, Talent Unlimited has a slightly lower 4-year graduation rate and a higher dropout rate compared to the district average. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, ranging from 31.5% to 44% in recent years, well above the district and state averages. These factors may be influenced by the school's high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 65.7% to 83.9% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Interestingly, Talent Unlimited High School's performance varies across different student subgroups, with the school's ranking for African American and Hispanic students being higher than for White and Asian students in recent years. The school's proximity to other high-performing institutions, such as Eleanor Roosevelt High School, which consistently outperforms Talent Unlimited, highlights the potential for improvement. However, addressing the underlying factors contributing to the school's performance gaps, such as chronic absenteeism and socioeconomic challenges, will be crucial for Talent Unlimited High School's future success.

Open Quote A hidden treasure on NYC's East Side. The school has a small town feel with talented children who want to be successful... academically and artistically. The teachers and administration care about each and every student. They get to know your artistic ability, your academic strengths and weaknesses and offer guidance as they send you off to college. Over 90% of the students go to college. The school also offers many partnerships with leading artistic companies in New York City. Talent Unlimited is diverse in ethnicity and culturally, mirroring the true diversity that NYC has to offer. Close Quote
