High School of Hospitality Management

The High School of Hospitality Management, located in Manhattan's vibrant Clinton area, operates as an Early College Community High School, offering students a unique pathway to earn both a high school diploma and up to 24 transferable college credits. The school specializes in hospitality, culinary arts, and business, providing a Career and Technical Education (CTE) sequence that leads to industry certifications. Students benefit from participation in New York City's Career Ready Modern Youth Apprenticeship and Future Ready NYC programs, which facilitate paid apprenticeships and internships in technology, hospitality, culinary, and business sectors. The school fosters a close-knit community, a sentiment often expressed by parents and students, despite sharing a building with other schools. Parents consistently report overwhelmingly positive experiences, praising teachers for their caring approach, individualized support, and dedication to student success. Student surveys indicate a generally safe environment, with high favorability for safety agents and feelings of security in common areas, and conflicts are often resolved fairly. However, some students express concerns regarding bullying, substance use, and physical altercations, and a desire for a wider variety of clubs and more advanced academic courses, particularly in science. Academically, the school presents a mixed picture. English Regents pass rates are strong, aligning with the citywide 75th percentile. However, math Regents pass rates, particularly in Geometry and Algebra I, are significantly below the citywide 25th percentile. The four-year graduation rate of 74% is below the citywide 25th percentile, and college enrollment at 62.1% is slightly below the citywide median. The school maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 10:1, and all instructional staff have more than three years of experience.
