Summary

Eagle Academy For Young Men Of Harlem is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City, with 216 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New York high schools over the past 4 years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very poor performance compared to other schools in the state.

The school struggles significantly, with low graduation rates, high dropout rates, and very high chronic absenteeism. It performs poorly on state assessments, with proficiency rates well below the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. However, the school's strongest performance is in supporting English Language Learner students, where it ranks in the top 15% of schools in the state. Nearby schools, such as Columbia Secondary School, Frederick Douglass Academy, and Thurgood Marshall Academy For Learning & Social Change, generally outperform Eagle Academy For Young Men Of Harlem across a variety of metrics, including state rankings, test scores, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism.

Despite increased spending per student, from $19,582 in 2020-2021 to $42,877 in 2023-2024, and relatively low student-teacher ratios, the school continues to struggle, particularly with male students and students from disadvantaged backgrounds. The data suggests that there may be opportunities for improvement through adopting best practices from higher-performing schools serving similar student populations in the New York City Geographic District #5.
