Summary

New Rochelle High School is a large public high school serving grades 9-12 in the New Rochelle City School District, with an enrollment of 3,051 students. The school has consistently been rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, placing it in the middle of New York high schools.

New Rochelle High School faces some challenges, including slightly below-average 4-year graduation rates ranging from 79.3% to 84.3% in recent years, and significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates of 31.5% to 47.4% compared to the state average. The school's academic performance on Regents exams is mixed, with strong results in some subjects like Algebra II and English Language Arts, but lagging behind in others like Geometry, Earth Science, and Living Environment. Notably, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with Asian, African American, and Hispanic students generally performing better than White and multi-racial students, and English Language Learners and students with disabilities also lagging behind their peers.

When compared to nearby high schools, New Rochelle High School generally performs in the middle of the pack, with schools like Pelham Memorial High School, Bronxville High School, and Eastchester Senior High School significantly outperforming it on most metrics. The school has also seen a significant increase in spending per student, from $17,008 in 2020-2021 to $30,797 in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average, but this has not yet translated into commensurate improvements in academic outcomes.

New Rochelle High School is unlike the schools in neighboring towns. We have beautiful diversity and inclusion and offer a BREADTH of AP and electives, more than any other in the STATE. We have a ROBUST arts program, with an arts high school within our high school. Students who participate in PAVE get to pick the art concentration of their choosing--visual, theatre, performance, orchestra, etc and study that concentration for their 4 yrs. They graduate with a regular diploma AND a PAVE diploma. We also have an incredible Science Research program and a Capstone English program. We have an accredited Arts Museum, a planetarium, two auditoriums one of which is a blackbox theatre. Yes we have a large student body, that is why our students head off to college PREPARED and ready to navigate many social and academic circles. They are not in a bubble for 4 of their most formative years. Our school is unmatched. Close Quote

I graduated from there in 2007 and as time goes by the neighborhood as well as the kids in school get worse. There was many gangs and some threats to the school. However, the teachers are great and very dedicated. I would not want my child to go there. Close Quote

I attended New Rochelle public schools more than 30 years ago and my daughter attended them very recently. The teachers were dedicated and responsive. The after school activities plentiful, the sports programs well run.

She received a first-rate education in a diverse community and is now attending an Ivy League college. Close Quote
