Graduation rates and dropout rates are consistent across the schools, matching the district averages of 84.3% and 4.5%, respectively. However, the uniformly high chronic absenteeism rate of 31.5% is a major concern that likely contributes to the academic challenges faced by many of these schools.
Socioeconomic factors also play a role, as the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch ranges from 64.43% to 84.11%, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage in the communities served by these high schools. Addressing these challenges, along with improving math and science proficiency, could help drive more consistent, high-quality education across all the schools in this New York City Geographic District #28.
