Summary

United Charter High School For The Humanities IV is a public charter high school serving 205 students in grades 9-12 in Rockaway Park, New York. The school is part of the United Charter High School For The Humanities IV District, which is ranked 838 out of 874 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, United Charter High School For The Humanities IV consistently ranks in the bottom 10-20% of New York high schools, with low proficiency rates on Regents/Common Core exams across all subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school had only 27.27% proficiency in Algebra II, compared to the state average of 74.88%. The school's graduation rates, ranging from 84.3% to 92.0% over the past 3 years, are also below the state average. Performance is particularly low for female, male, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students, as well as for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending than nearby schools like High School For Medical Professions, Urban Action Academy, and High School For Innovation In Advertising And Media, it continues to struggle with extremely high chronic absenteeism rates, which may be a contributing factor to its poor academic performance and low graduation rates. Addressing these challenges will be crucial for the school to improve student outcomes and better serve its community.
