Summary

Professional Pathways High School is a public high school located in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 176 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.

Professional Pathways High School faces significant challenges in terms of student academic performance, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of New York high schools, with proficiency rates on Regents/Common Core exams significantly lower than the district and state averages across all subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rate in Regents/Common Core Algebra I was 27.94%, compared to 55.32% for the district and 56.07% for the state. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 39.6% and 85.9% in recent years, with the most recent rate at 84.3%, and the dropout rate has also varied, ranging from 2.5% to 11.3% in recent years, with the most recent rate at 4.5%. Additionally, the school has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 30.2% to 91.9% in recent years, with the most recent rate at 31.5%.

The comparison to nearby schools, particularly the higher-performing Leon M. Goldstein High School for the Sciences, a public magnet school, highlights the disparity in educational opportunities and outcomes for students in the same geographic area. Other nearby schools, such as James Madison High School and Abraham Lincoln High School, also demonstrate stronger academic performance and higher graduation rates compared to Professional Pathways High School. However, the school has shown strong results for its homeless student population, ranking in the top 5% of New York high schools for this subgroup in recent years, suggesting that targeted interventions and support can lead to positive results.
