Summary

The Urban Assembly School For Green Careers (The) is a public high school located in New York, NY, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 316 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District # 3, which is ranked 507 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, with proficiency rates on Regents/Common Core exams that are significantly lower than the district and state averages across most subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were 80% in Algebra II, 65.05% in English Language Arts, 45.14% in Global History and Geography, and just 22.22% in Living Environment. The school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 84.3% to 88.7% in recent years, slightly below the district and state averages, and its dropout rate has ranged from 2.1% to 7.1%, which is higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 31.5% to 67.0% in recent years.

Interestingly, the nearby Young Women's Leadership School, High School For Law Advocacy And Community Justice, and Manhattan/Hunter Science High School generally outperform the Urban Assembly School For Green Careers (The) on academic measures, graduation rates, and other key metrics. These nearby schools serve a more socioeconomically diverse student population, with lower percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. While the Urban Assembly School For Green Careers (The) receives higher-than-average per-student funding, this investment does not appear to be translating into improved outcomes, suggesting the need for a comprehensive review of the school's educational programs, support services, and strategies for engaging students and families.
