High School of Arts and Technology

The High School of Arts and Technology, located in the Martin Luther King Educational Campus, is a FutureReadyNYC school dedicated to preparing students for post-secondary education and careers, particularly in the technology industry. The school emphasizes a blend of arts and technology, offering advanced coursework including several Advanced Placement (AP) classes and college courses on-site, alongside opportunities for paid work-based learning and early college credits. With an enrollment of around 393 students, it maintains a diverse student body. The four-year graduation rate of 87% is solid, falling near the citywide median, and 60.2% of graduates enroll in college, which is slightly below the citywide median. While official data indicates "Excellent" relationships with families and parent surveys show 100% positive feedback, the "Instruction and Performance" rating is "Fair". Some students express a desire for more academic challenge and a broader range of rigorous courses, and older reviews mention concerns about academic support and student behavior. Regents pass rates are generally below citywide benchmarks across most subjects. The school is noted for its supportive environment by some parents, who appreciate the communication and opportunities for internships.
