The city’s worst high schools for dropouts

DeWitt Clinton HS in The Bronx is top in the city — for school dropouts.

The troubled school lost 238 students from the class of 2014, which has about 950 students total, according to data released by the state Department of Education. Those kids began as freshmen.

Herbert H. Lehman HS in The Bronx shed 163 students, John Adams HS in Queens lost 156 teens, Fort Hamilton HS in Brooklyn lost 127 students, and Richmond Hill HS in Queens dropped 124 students from the class of 2014 in the last four years.

DeWitt, Lehman, Adams and Richmond Hill all earned spots on the city's list of poorly performing schools, which face reorganization and closure if they do not improve over the next three years.

Schools Chancellor Carmen Fariña said teachers who do not help students succeed could be moved.

"I believe in a chance, but I don't believe in many chances," Fariña told reporters on Thursday. "There's got to be a time when we say enough is enough."

The school with the highest dropout rate was the Lower East Side Preparatory HS, with a staggering 37 percent of its students dropping out. But it is a "second-chance" school that focuses on students who have already dropped out and are there to give it one more shot.

DeWitt Clinton students stood by principal Santiago Taveras, a former deputy chancellor, who has been trying to fix the school since September 2013.

"Before the principal, the school was worse," said sophomore Alyssa Wade, 15.

Taveras declined to comment. The UFT did not return calls seeking comment.
