Summary

Wings Academy is a public high school located in the Bronx, New York, serving grades 9-12 with 237 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #12, which is ranked 760 out of 874 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the past 10 years, Wings Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New York high schools, with graduation rates ranging from 66.0% to 84.3%, which is significantly lower than the state average of around 80%. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, with rates ranging from 31.5% to 59.3%, much higher than the state average. Across various Regents exams, Wings Academy students perform well below the state and district averages.

When comparing Wings Academy to other high schools in the same district, such as Mott Hall V, it consistently underperforms in areas like graduation rates, chronic absenteeism, and test scores. Despite the high-need student population, Wings Academy's per-student spending has increased significantly in recent years, suggesting that additional funding alone may not be the sole solution to the school's challenges.
