Better than 13% of New York high schools

Summary

The Urban Assembly School Of Business For Young Women is a public high school in New York City's District 2, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 76. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New York high schools over the past decade, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school faces significant challenges, including extremely low test scores, with proficiency rates on Regents/Common Core exams far below district and state averages across all subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school had 0% proficiency in Algebra II, 7.14% in Geometry, and only 29.27% in Living Environment, compared to district rates of 65.7%, 21.86%, and 43.71% respectively. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, reaching as high as 78.7% in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to the district average of 31.5%, and low graduation rates, ranging from 76.9% to 84.3% over the past few years, below the district average of around 84%.

The Urban Assembly School Of Business For Young Women performs significantly worse than other nearby high schools in the district, such as Millennium High School and Stuyvesant High School, which are among the top-performing schools in the state. This suggests the Urban Assembly school is struggling to provide the same level of educational opportunities and outcomes for its students. Addressing the school's unique challenges, including its high rates of poverty, chronic absenteeism, and low graduation rates, will likely require targeted interventions and support from the district and state to improve student achievement and engagement.
