Summary

Digital Arts And Cinema Technology High School is a public high school in Brooklyn, New York, serving 325 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #15, which is ranked 401 out of 874 districts in the state.

The school has shown mixed academic performance, with its statewide ranking ranging from 580 to 692 out of 1,200+ high schools in New York. However, it has demonstrated strengths in certain subject areas, such as significantly higher proficiency rates than the district and state in Regents/Common Core English Language Arts, Regents/Global History and Geography, and Regents/U.S. History and Government. The school has also performed well for specific student subgroups, including African American, Hispanic, and special education students. Nearby schools like Brooklyn Collaborative Studies and Urban Assembly School For Law And Justice have shown stronger overall performance on Regents exams and higher graduation rates.

One area of concern for Digital Arts And Cinema Technology High School is its high chronic absenteeism and dropout rates, which have ranged from 31.5% to 62.7% and 1.1% to 6.2%, respectively, in recent years. Addressing these issues and learning from the practices of higher-performing nearby schools could help the school improve its overall academic outcomes and better serve its diverse student population.
