Summary

Urban Assembly Institute Of Math And Science For Young Women is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in Brooklyn, New York, with a total enrollment of 392 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #13, which is ranked 617 out of 874 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of New York high schools over the past several years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in the state. The school's performance is particularly low for Asian, Hispanic, and Special Education student groups, ranking in the bottom 20-30% of New York high schools for these subgroups. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 84.3% and 95.4%, which is below the state average, and its dropout rate has ranged from 2.0% to 4.9%, which is higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.1% to 50.8% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Dr. Susan S. McKinney Secondary School of the Arts, Urban Assembly School for Law and Justice, and City Polytechnic High School, Urban Assembly Institute of Math and Science for Young Women generally performs worse across various metrics, including statewide rankings, graduation rates, and academic performance on state assessments and Regents exams. While the school has relatively high per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio, these factors do not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes for its predominantly low-income student population.
