The top NYC public high schools in terms of college-readiness
Here is a file of NYC high schools ranked as to the percentage of their students in 2010 who graduated “college-ready,” which is estimated by the state education department as scoring at least 75 on the Regents exam in English and 80 on Math – called the "aspirational performance measure," or APM.
Students scoring lower than this, according to the state, are likely to need remediation. The spreadsheet also disaggregates this percentage by ELL and special education status, gender and ethnicity.
Lots of caveats before you interpret the list as a reliable ranking of the quality of NYC high schools:
- To a large degree, these results are determined by the selectivity of the schools' admissions
