Summary

Origins High School is a public high school located in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 465 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #22, which is ranked 412 out of 874 districts in New York and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and spending significantly more per student compared to the district and state averages, Origins High School consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of New York high schools, with a statewide ranking between 960-1147 out of 1190-1234 schools over the past 5 years. The school's performance on Regents/Common Core exams is significantly below the district and state averages across most subject areas, and it has a 4-year graduation rate around 84%, which is slightly below the district average. Additionally, Origins High School has a very high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 30.2% to 57.8% in recent years, which is much higher than the district and state averages.

In comparison, the nearby Leon M. Goldstein High School for the Sciences, a top-performing magnet school in the same district, outperforms Origins High School across nearly all academic metrics, including test scores, graduation rates, and student subgroup performance. Addressing the root causes of Origins High School's chronic absenteeism and improving its ability to effectively serve its diverse student population should be top priorities for the school and district.
