Summary

East Brooklyn Community High School is a public high school in Brooklyn, New York, serving 141 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.

East Brooklyn Community High School faces significant academic challenges, as evidenced by its consistently low statewide rankings, ranging from 738 to 1167 out of over 1,200 schools, and its poor SchoolDigger ratings of 0 to 2 stars. The school's four-year graduation rates have been low, ranging from 40.2% to 84.3%, well below the state average of around 80%. Additionally, the school has experienced high dropout rates, ranging from 4.5% to 10.3%, higher than the state average of around 5%. Chronic absenteeism has also been a major issue, with rates ranging from 31.5% to 91.6%, much higher than the state average of around 20%.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Kurt Hahn Expeditionary Learning School, It Takes A Village Academy, and Cultural Academy For The Arts And Sciences, East Brooklyn Community High School generally performs slightly worse on these key metrics. The school's high per-student spending, ranging from $30,448 to $46,195, suggests that the challenges may not be solely due to a lack of resources, but rather could be related to other factors, such as the school's leadership, curriculum, and instructional practices.
