New Explorations Into Science, Tech and Math High School

One of New York's best schools, New Explorations Into Science, Tech, and Math High School was awarded an overall grade 99.08/100 and is ranked #163 nationally. With a #20 ranking in New York, that means opportunities to be taught in an elite learning environment where 95% of kids are taking Advanced Placement® coursework—less than two hundred fifty schools within the country can boast. Students consistently perform well above district and state averages with 87% (Proficient) in math, 99% (Advanced Proficient) in reading, and 80% (Proficient) in science. Finally, the school serves grades K–12 (enrolling 621 high school students), and its student body is diverse at 63 percent minority enrollment, with 29 percent economically disadvantaged students —again reflecting a commitment to inclusive excellence. Boasting a student-teacher ratio of 17:1, students have the opportunity to work with seasoned faculty. What sets New Explorations Into Science, Tech, and Math High School above and beyond is not just its incredible academic environment but its success rate of over 99% graduation and high college readiness scores as well as national recognition for their STEM programs. In an environment of generally strong competition, it goes up against other public magnet schools from across the nation.
