☞ READ: High School Performance Reports 2010

The New York Post has an article today on how New York City High Schools are performing and 70 percent seem to make the passing grade.  Included is a PDF chart that has all of the city schools listed and how they scored this year: LINK.  Unfortunately, the chart is not categorized by region so those researching have to know the names of the schools in their neighborhood and scan closely.  A Central Harlem school that has consistently performed well is the Thurgood Marshall Academy (overall "B" "grade) which is in the building at 135th and ACP/7th Avneue that used to house Small's Paradise: LINK.  The formerly high performing Frederick Douglass Academy surprisingly is underperforming this year while the Harlem Choir Academy (which was almost shut down last year) has improved to a "B" grade. Most of the underperforming schools from last year are still doing so and will possibly face closure: LINK.

Better schools have been a concern for Harlem so it probably would be of some help if officials put together a neighborhood-specific report card for uptown!
