Summary

Health Opportunities High School is a public high school serving 192 students in grades 9-12 in the Bronx, New York, which is part of the New York City Geographic District #7. Unfortunately, the school has consistently struggled, ranking in the bottom 20% of New York high schools over the past 10 years and maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating very low performance.

The school faces significant challenges, including low graduation rates ranging from 65.8% to 84.3% in recent years, much lower than the state average. It also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 31.5% to 61.1%, and very low proficiency rates on Regents exams, with many subjects below 50% proficiency. Additionally, over 95% of the students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high poverty levels, and the school's per-student spending, while increasing over the years, has not translated into improved academic outcomes.

Interestingly, the other high schools in the immediate vicinity of Health Opportunities High School, such as Bronx Legacy High School, Laboratory School Of Finance And Technology, and South Bronx Preparatory, also perform poorly on most metrics, suggesting the challenges facing schools in this particular geographic area of the Bronx. Despite the increased funding and attention, Health Opportunities High School has been unable to meaningfully improve student performance over the past 10 years.
