Summary

Math Engineering And Science Academy Charter High School is a public charter high school serving 524 students in grades 9-12 in Brooklyn, New York. The school is part of the Math Engineering And Science Academy Charter High School District, which is ranked 603 out of 874 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school faces significant challenges, with significantly lower test scores compared to the state average across various Regents exams. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school had only 41.72% proficiency in Regents/Common Core Algebra II, compared to the state average of 74.88%. The school's four-year graduation rate has also fluctuated, ranging from 69.6% to 87.7%, with the most recent rate of 84.3% close to the state average. Additionally, the school has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 31.5% to 100% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students performing better than the overall school, while Multi-racial students and English Language Learners have struggled. The school is also located in close proximity to several other low-performing schools in the New York City Geographic District #32, including Brooklyn High School For Law And Technology, Bushwick Leaders High School For Academic Excellence, and Bushwick Community High School. Despite the school's relatively low performance, it has a high spending per student, ranging from $16,720 to $23,107 in recent years, which raises questions about the efficient allocation of resources.
