Summary

Innovation Charter High School is a public charter high school located in New York, NY, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 409 students. The school is part of the Innovation Charter High School District, which is ranked 832 out of 874 districts in New York and is rated 0 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Innovation Charter High School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of New York high schools over the past decade, with poor performance on Regents exams across various subject areas, including math, science, and English language arts. The school's four-year graduation rate has ranged from 70.8% to 85.1%, which is lower than the state average, and it has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 31.5% to 72.9% in recent years. Compared to nearby schools like Esperanza Preparatory Academy, Heritage School (The), and Edward A Reynolds West Side High School, Innovation Charter High School generally underperforms on academic metrics, graduation rates, and student subgroup performance.

Despite the school's poor performance, Innovation Charter High School spends a relatively high amount per student, with a per-student expenditure of $24,850 in the 2023-2024 school year. This suggests that the school's challenges may not be solely due to a lack of funding, but rather a combination of factors, such as student demographics, school leadership, and instructional practices. Addressing the root causes of these issues will be crucial for improving the educational outcomes at Innovation Charter High School.
