Do Not Apply To These Queens High Schools























If I was a parent of a academically proficient child, here is my list of Queens high schools I would not have my middle school; student apply to,

School..................................Graduation..College Ready..Metric

Fredrick Douglas Academy VI.....43%.........11%........3.9
Academy of Medical Technology.73%.........22%........3.3
August Martin............................72%.........28%........2.6
Martin Van Buren.......................72%.........28%........2.6
Rockaway Collegiate.... .............67%.........26%........2.6
Pathways To College..................60%.........28%........2.5
HS of Law Enforcement...............79%.........38%.......2.1

Epic HS North.............................88%..........57%......1.5 

The higher the metric, the worse the school is academically and the more likely the school is a diploma mill that no parent should send their academically proficient child to..

Note: the Renewal High Schools are over represented on the list. Moreover,eleven of the twelve small schools at the Beach Channel, Far Rockaway, Campus Magnet, and Jamaica campuses are included on the "do not apply" list  Only Channel View, which is a partially screened school, escaped the list

Some of these schools have an 88+ graduation rate and a 50+ college ready rate. That seems pretty on par with most of the city. What makes these schools in particular terrible?

Any school with a metric over 1.5 means far too many students are graduating without the skills for college or a good paying job.

Flushing high school is an absolute disaster. The rehiring of staff changed nothing. If anything it's much worse.

Applied Communications used to be a decent school.. too bad the new principal wrecked it
