Gotham Tech High School

Gotham Tech High School is an open-enrollment high school in Queens, specializing in STEM education with programs in Robotics & Engineering, Computer Software Design, and Data Science. The school emphasizes challenge-based learning and benefits from partnerships with the NYC First STEM Center and Cornell Tech, offering students hands-on experiences and access to advanced facilities. In 2025, the school moved into the new Queens Innovation Center, providing modern science labs, art and music rooms, computer labs, a library, gym, and auditorium. While the school fosters a robust college-preparatory environment with numerous Advanced Placement courses, parent and student sentiment is mixed. Families appreciate the strong STEM focus and support for students with disabilities, but some students express concerns about safety and bullying. The school maintains a strong attendance rate, at the citywide 25th percentile, and performs well on Global History and Languages Other Than English Regents exams. However, Regents pass rates in math and sciences are notably low, and comprehensive data on graduation and college enrollment is not yet available.
