Summary

Manhattan Early College School For Advertising is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in New York City's New York City Geographic District # 2, with a total enrollment of 375 students. While the school is part of the New York City public school system, it has faced significant challenges in recent years, as evidenced by its lower-than-average test scores, graduation rates, and high chronic absenteeism rates.

The school's academic performance lags behind district and state averages across several key metrics. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 8.96% of students at Manhattan Early College School For Advertising demonstrated proficiency in Regents/Chemistry, compared to 61.11% for the district and 64.53% for the state. Additionally, the school's four-year graduation rate has hovered around 82-84%, lower than the district and state averages. The school also struggles with higher dropout rates and chronic absenteeism, ranging from 3.6% to 7.1% and 31.5% to 52.5%, respectively, in recent years.

Despite these challenges, the school's proximity to several other public high schools in the same district, including Pace High School, High School Of Economics & Finance, and Leadership & Public Service High School, presents opportunities for collaboration and resource-sharing. Additionally, the school's significant increase in spending per student, from $14,401 in 2020-2021 to $30,462 in 2023-2024, suggests that additional resources may be available to address the unique challenges faced by the school and its high percentage of economically disadvantaged students.
