Summary

Boys And Girls High School is a public high school in Brooklyn, New York, serving 375 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #16, which is ranked 628 out of 874 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The data paints a concerning picture of Boys And Girls High School, which is consistently one of the lowest-performing high schools in New York State. The school faces significant challenges, with a four-year graduation rate fluctuating between 55.2% and 84.3%, a dropout rate ranging from 4.5% to 18.5%, and a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5% to 66.7%. Proficiency rates on Regents/Common Core exams are consistently well below the state and district averages across all subject areas, with many subjects having proficiency rates below 30%. The school's performance is particularly low for female, male, African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, Special Education, and low socioeconomic status students.

In contrast, the nearby Unity Preparatory Charter School of Brooklyn and Brooklyn Emerging Leaders Academy Charter School generally outperform Boys And Girls High School and the surrounding district schools on test scores and other metrics, despite serving a similar student population. The high per-student spending of $40,122 at Boys And Girls High School does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes, suggesting potential issues with how resources are being allocated and utilized within the school.
