Summary

Maspeth High School is a public high school located in Elmhurst, New York, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,023 students. While the school is part of the New York City Geographic District #24, which is ranked 544 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, Maspeth High School faces several challenges in terms of academic performance, graduation rates, and student attendance.

Maspeth High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York high schools, with a statewide ranking between 697-744 out of 1,190-1,242 schools over the past 5 years. Its performance on Regents exams is mixed, with some subjects like English Language Arts and Global History performing better than the district and state averages, while others like Geometry, Physics, and Living Environment lag behind. The school's 4-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 80.9% and 94.2% over the past 3 years, which is generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages. However, its dropout rate is higher than the district and state, ranging from 1.9% to 4.9% in recent years. Additionally, Maspeth High School has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate compared to the district and state, ranging from 31.5% to 34.8% over the past 3 years.

While Maspeth High School's performance is generally on par with or slightly better than nearby schools in the same district, such as Grover Cleveland High School and Newtown High School, it lags behind schools in the neighboring District #28, such as Metropolitan Expeditionary Learning School and Queens Metropolitan High School, which have higher academic achievement and graduation rates. Addressing the school's high chronic absenteeism rate and implementing targeted interventions to support underperforming student subgroups could be crucial for improving Maspeth High School's outcomes and providing a more equitable education for its diverse student population.
