Summary:
The 11368 zip code area in New York has only one high school, High School For Arts And Business, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school faces some significant challenges, with a graduation rate slightly below the state average, a higher-than-average dropout rate, and a concerning chronic absenteeism issue.
Academically, the school performs well above the New York City Geographic District #24 and state averages in subjects like Regents/Common Core Algebra II, Regents/Global History and Geography, and Regents/U.S. History and Government. However, it struggles in areas like Regents/Chemistry, Regents/Physics, and Regents/Common Core Algebra I, where proficiency rates are well below the district and state. This uneven academic performance suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to help the school improve across all subject areas.
The school serves a high-need student population, with 87.77% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This high-poverty student body, combined with the school's high chronic absenteeism rate, likely contributes to the academic challenges. Despite spending more per student than the state average, the school has not been able to consistently translate its resources into strong academic outcomes, indicating a need for a closer examination of how the school's funding and resources are being utilized.
