Summary

Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis High School is a public high school in New York City's District #2, serving 292 students in grades 9-12. Despite its high per-student spending, the school has consistently underperformed compared to district and state averages on key metrics like academic achievement, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism.

Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis High School's academic performance is a significant concern, with only 18.37% of students proficient in Regents Chemistry, compared to 61.11% in the district and 64.53% statewide. The school's 4-year graduation rate has hovered around 80%, lower than the district and state averages, and its dropout rate has reached as high as 7.1%. Additionally, the school struggles with high chronic absenteeism, exceeding 50% in the 2023-2024 school year.

When compared to nearby schools in the same district, such as Urban Assembly Gateway School for Technology, Manhattan Bridges High School, and Professional Performing Arts High School, Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis High School generally underperforms on key metrics. This suggests that the school may need to learn from the practices and strategies employed by its higher-performing counterparts to address the root causes of its academic challenges and improve student outcomes.
