Summary

Young Women's Leadership School Of The Bronx is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in the New York City Geographic District #9, which is ranked 750 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has 515 students.

Despite relatively high per-student spending, Young Women's Leadership School Of The Bronx faces significant challenges. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York high schools, with performance on state assessments and Regents exams generally below district and state averages, especially in math and science. Its 4-year graduation rate has ranged from 73.2% to 95.5%, and the dropout rate has been as high as 7.5%. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 31.5% to 58.4% in recent years.

While the school performs similarly or slightly better than some nearby public high schools, such as Comprehensive Model School Project Middle School 327 and Bronx Collegiate Academy, it lags behind others like Academy For Language And Technology, which has stronger academic performance. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and providing targeted interventions to support struggling subgroups could be important steps towards improving the school's overall outcomes.
