Summary

Franklin Delano Roosevelt High School is a public high school in Brooklyn, New York, serving 3,430 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #20, which is ranked 249 out of 874 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past 10 years, indicating below-average performance, its graduation rates have fluctuated between 70.9% and 84.3% in recent years, and its dropout rates have ranged from 4.5% to 9.0%. However, the school faces challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5% to 35.8%, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's performance on Regents exams is mixed, with stronger results in Algebra II and U.S. History, but lagging behind in subjects like Chemistry, Geometry, and Earth Science.

Interestingly, the nearby International High School At Lafayette, a public magnet school, performs significantly better on Regents exams and has a higher graduation rate, despite serving a student population with a higher percentage of low-income and English Language Learner students. Additionally, Urban Assembly School For Leadership And Empowerment and New Utrecht High School, which are also located near Franklin Delano Roosevelt High School, have similar performance profiles to the school.
