Summary

Business Of Sports School is a public magnet high school in New York City, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 431 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #2, which is ranked 352 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite increased funding and resources, Business Of Sports School consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages on academic measures. The school's proficiency rates on Regents/Common Core exams are significantly lower than the averages, with only 8.2% proficiency in Algebra II, 12.12% in Living Environment, and 42.22% in U.S. History and Government. The school's four-year graduation rate ranges from 75% to 84.3%, lower than the district and state, and its dropout rate is higher at 4.5% to 7.1%. Additionally, the school has a very high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 31.5% to 58.3%.

Nearby schools, such as Urban Assembly Gateway School For Technology, Stephen T Mather Building Arts And Craftmanship High School, and Manhattan Bridges High School, generally perform better than Business Of Sports School on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and graduation rates, as well as lower chronic absenteeism and a lower percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. The challenges faced by Business Of Sports School appear to be multifaceted, involving factors such as student demographics, attendance, and resource allocation, which may require a comprehensive and targeted approach to address and improve the school's performance.
