The Urban Assembly School for Collaborative Healthcare

The Urban Assembly School for Collaborative Healthcare (UASCH) is a Brooklyn public high school with a strong career and technical education (CTE) focus on healthcare, aiming to prepare students for college and careers in the medical assisting field and beyond. The school emphasizes diverse work-based learning experiences, including paid apprenticeships and internships, and offers programs like Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) and Medical Assisting certification courses. It is housed in the former Franklin K. Lane High School building, which also accommodates several other small schools. The school boasts a high 4-year graduation rate of 93%, which is well above the citywide median, and maintains a very low suspension rate. Parent satisfaction is exceptionally high, with overwhelmingly positive feedback on school surveys. Students generally feel safe in common areas and with safety agents, and appreciate the school's inclusive environment and post-school support. However, some student survey responses indicate concerns regarding bullying, physical fights, and drug/alcohol use at school. Additionally, Regents exam pass rates, particularly in math and science, are generally lower than state and district averages. The school also offers seven Advanced Placement (AP) courses and access to college courses.
