Summary

Brooklyn Community High School For Excellence And Equity is a public high school in Brooklyn, New York that serves 199 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #18, which is ranked 551 out of 874 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New York high schools over the past 10 years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in the state. Its performance is particularly low for Hispanic and Special Education students, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of New York high schools for these subgroups. However, the school performs better for English Language Learners, ranking in the top 50% of schools for this group. The school's 4-year graduation rate has ranged from 67.5% to 84.3% in recent years, below the state average, and its dropout rate has ranged from 4.5% to 6.1%, also higher than the state average.

While the school faces significant challenges, with very high chronic absenteeism rates and test scores well below state and district averages, it is allocating significant resources, with a relatively low student-teacher ratio and high per-student spending compared to nearby schools. This suggests the school is committed to supporting its high-need student population. Interestingly, one school in the same district, Brooklyn Bridge Academy, stands out with a much higher ranking (top 20%) and stronger academic performance, highlighting the potential for improvement within the district.
