The schools vary in type, with 4 public schools, 2 public charter schools, and 1 public magnet school. While the schools serve student populations with vastly different socioeconomic backgrounds, there is a significant gap in performance between the top-performing schools, such as Millennium High School, and the lower-performing schools, such as Urban Assembly School Of Business For Young Women.
Millennium High School stands out as the highest-performing school in the data set, ranking in the top 50 high schools statewide and earning 5 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. It has exceptional test scores, with over 95% proficiency in several Regents exams, and a high 4-year graduation rate of 84.3%. In contrast, Urban Assembly School Of Business For Young Women has lower test scores and a higher chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5%, which is a concern across the schools in the area.

It has very strong test scores, with over 80% proficiency in 6th and 8th grade ELA and over 70% in 6th and 7th grade math. This suggests that the middle school years may be a bright spot in the educational pipeline for this area, setting students up for success in high school. Overall, the data highlights the need to address the drivers of these performance differences, whether related to funding, resources, or other factors, to ensure all students in this community have access to a high-quality education.
