Summary

Atlas High School is a public high school located in Long Island City, New York, serving 1,445 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #30, which is ranked 382 out of 874 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite spending more per student than the district average, Atlas High School consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of New York high schools, with particularly low proficiency rates in science subjects like Chemistry (10.34%), Earth Science (0%), and Physics (0%). The school's 4-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 72.8% and 84.7% over the past 3 years, which is below the district and state averages, and its dropout rate has ranged from 3.4% to 8.2% during the same period, higher than the district and state. Additionally, Atlas has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 31.5% to 56.9% over the past 3 years, significantly exceeding the district and state averages.

Comparing Atlas to nearby schools, the Information Technology High School and Baccalaureate School for Global Education perform significantly better across academic metrics, graduation rates, and test scores, likely due to serving a more advantaged student population. While Atlas struggles to support the academic achievement of all student subgroups, the school performs relatively better for English Language Learners, ranking in the top half of New York high schools for this subgroup.

What people are saying

by a student
Tuesday, January 6, 2015

I graduated from there in 2014 with honors. The school and teachers are good, but the is the student choice if they want to succeed or not. Tomato of the teachers care about you and consider your situation in every aspect. The teachers are always there to help you but this has to start with the student in order to be better academically.
