Summary

Veritas Academy is a public high school located in Flushing, New York, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 602 students. It is part of the New York City Geographic District #25, which is ranked 327 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Veritas Academy faces several challenges, including declining academic performance, with its statewide ranking dropping from 781 out of 1207 high schools in 2018-2019 to 911 out of 1234 high schools in 2024-2025, and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on Regents exams is generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in subjects like Algebra II, Geometry, and Earth Science. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking in the bottom half of high schools in New York for English Language Learners and Special Education students.

Veritas Academy's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 79.4% to 90.7%, which is generally lower than the district and state averages. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 31.5% to 42.5% in recent years, significantly higher than the district and state averages. While Veritas Academy's per-student spending has increased over the years, this increased funding does not seem to have translated into significant improvements in the school's academic outcomes. In comparison, nearby schools like John Bowne High School, World Journalism Preparatory, and Townsend Harris High School have higher academic achievement, graduation rates, and lower chronic absenteeism.
