Summary

The Urban Assembly School For Music And Art is a public high school located in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 95 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #13, which is ranked 617 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The Urban Assembly School For Music And Art has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New York high schools, with a ranking between 925-1047 out of 1200-1250 schools over the past 5 years.

The school's proficiency rates on Regents exams are significantly lower than the district and state averages across multiple subject areas, including English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 17.65% in Earth Science to 68.42% in U.S. History and Government, compared to district averages of 60.19% to 77.16% and state averages of 65.07% to 75.03%. Additionally, the school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.1% to 70.4% over the past few years, which are significantly higher than the district and state averages.

The Urban Assembly School For Music And Art is located in close proximity to several other high-performing public schools, such as Brooklyn Technical High School, Science Skills Center High School, and Urban Assembly School For Law And Justice. These nearby schools significantly outperform the Urban Assembly School For Music And Art on key metrics like statewide ranking, Regents exam proficiency, graduation rates, and student-teacher ratios. The combination of low statewide ranking, poor academic performance, high chronic absenteeism, and a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students suggests that the Urban Assembly School For Music And Art may be facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
