Summary

Park East High School is a public high school in New York City's District 4, serving 384 students in grades 9-12. The school has consistently ranked in the middle tier of New York high schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Park East High School's academic performance is mixed, with strengths in subjects like Common Core Algebra II, Common Core English Language Arts, Global History and Geography, and U.S. History and Government, where it outperforms the district and state averages. However, the school struggles in subjects like Chemistry, Common Core Geometry, Earth Science, and Living Environment, where its proficiency rates are significantly lower. Interestingly, the school's performance is particularly strong for African American and Hispanic students, who rank in the top quartile of New York high schools in these subgroups.

The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 76.1% and 98.9% in recent years, which is generally on par with the district and state averages. However, Park East High School has a relatively high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 24.8% to 36.1%, which is higher than the surrounding area. The school serves a diverse student population, with a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which may contribute to the challenges the school faces. When compared to nearby schools, such as Manhattan Center for Science and Mathematics and Central Park East High School, Park East High School generally performs on par or slightly better, but lags behind some of the higher-performing schools in the area.
