Summary

Aviation Career And Technical Education High School is a public high school in Long Island City, New York that serves 1,846 students in grades 9-12. The school consistently ranks among the top high schools in the state, maintaining a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past decade and outperforming the district and state averages on a variety of Regents exams.

One of the school's key strengths is its exceptional performance for certain student subgroups. For example, it ranks in the top 5% of New York high schools for African American students and the top 20% for Hispanic students in recent years. The school also has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate, ranging from 80.9% to 92.8% over the past few years, which is generally higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $27,166 is significantly higher than the district and state averages, which may be a contributing factor to its academic success.

While Aviation Career And Technical Education High School outperforms many of the nearby schools in the New York City Geographic District #24, some schools like Bard High School Early College Queens also demonstrate strong academic performance. The school's relatively high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 12.9% to 34.8%, may be an area of concern that the school and district could address.
