Pan American International High School

Public Grades 9-12

Summary

Pan American International High School is a public high school located in Elmhurst, New York, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 483 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #24, which is ranked 528 out of 865 districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Pan American International High School serves a high-needs student population, with an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the school has consistently struggled with low performance. Its graduation rates, ranging from 82.3% to 97.6%, are generally lower than the surrounding schools like High School For Arts And Business (84.3%), Maspeth High School (84.3%), and Civic Leadership Academy (84.3%). The school also has higher dropout rates and significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to its neighbors.

Academically, Pan American International High School performs below the district and state averages in Regents/Common Core exams, with proficiency rates ranging from 21.71% to 50% in Algebra I and 33.33% to 50% in English Language Arts. Despite its high per-student spending, ranging from $17,110 to $21,753 per year, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New York high schools over the past decade, with its statewide ranking ranging from 833 to 1221 out of over 1,200 schools. While the school's homeless student population performs better than its overall ranking, the school's consistent low performance and high-needs student population indicate a need for targeted interventions and additional resources to support student success.
