Summary

High School For Medical Professions is a public high school in Brooklyn, New York, serving 351 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.

Despite the school's focus on medical professions, High School For Medical Professions has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New York high schools over the past decade, maintaining a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance is particularly low for female, male, Asian, and low socioeconomic status student groups, but it performs better for African American and Hispanic students. Interestingly, the school's performance for English Language Learners and Homeless students is relatively strong, ranking in the top half of New York high schools.

Comparing the school's performance to nearby schools in the same district, such as Brooklyn Bridge Academy, a magnet school with significantly higher performance, highlights the need for a more comprehensive approach to address the educational needs of this community. While High School For Medical Professions has seen a steady increase in per-student spending, from $13,924 in 2020-2021 to $29,226 in 2023-2024, the school's overall academic outcomes remain a concern, with below-average performance on Regents/Common Core exams across various subject areas.
