Summary

Queens Technical High School is a public high school located in Long Island City, New York, serving around 1,300 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #24, which is ranked 544 out of 874 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Queens Technical High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York high schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past 10 years. The school has struggled with high chronic absenteeism, ranging from 28.7% to 34.8% over the past 5 years, and its 4-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 77.2% and 84.3%. Academically, the school generally performs below the district and state averages on Regents exams, with the exception of Common Core English Language Arts and Physics. Interestingly, the school ranks relatively well for African American and Hispanic students, but struggles with its Asian and White student populations.

When compared to nearby schools, Queens Technical High School generally underperforms. For example, Aviation Career and Technical Education High School, just 0.12 miles away, consistently outranks Queens Technical on statewide metrics and has higher test scores, graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism. While Queens Technical has seen a significant increase in per-student spending, from $14,630 in 2020-2021 to $28,539 in 2023-2024, this increased funding has not yet translated into improved academic outcomes for the school.
