Summary

Northside Charter High School faces significant challenges in its academic performance, with consistently lower proficiency rates on Regents/Common Core exams compared to state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were just 17.78% in Algebra II, 2.38% in Geometry, and 16.39% in Living Environment, far below the state averages of 74.88%, 23.65%, and 56.7%, respectively. The school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 60.1% to 85.1% in recent years, lower than the state average, and its dropout rate has fluctuated between 0% and 10%, which is higher than the state's average. Additionally, Northside Charter High School has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 31.5% to 67.4% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, the nearby schools in the same New York City Geographic District #14 generally perform better than Northside Charter High School on academic metrics. Schools like Brooklyn Latin School, Williamsburg High School for Architecture and Design, and Williamsburg Preparatory School have significantly higher proficiency rates on Regents/Common Core exams compared to Northside Charter High School. Despite increased spending per student and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the academic performance at Northside Charter High School remains a concern.
