Staten Island Technical High School, Staten Island NY

Original Research by School Decision on Staten Island Technical High School

Staten Island Technical High School is a public four-year high school serving grades nine through twelve in Staten Island. The school enrolls students across all four grades in roughly equal numbers, with a student body that is predominantly Asian, followed by white students, and much smaller populations of Hispanic, Black, and other ethnicities. More than half the students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, reflecting a mix of family income levels across the enrollment.

The school's address places it in the Tottenville area of Staten Island's South Shore, a residential neighborhood reached primarily by car. This location sits within New York City Geographic District 31, which encompasses all of Staten Island and currently faces an elementary school seat shortage. This capacity pressure affects the entire district but does not directly constrain high school placement in the same way.

State assessment results and graduation rate data were not available for this school. With no academic performance metrics in the available data, a parent interested in how students perform on state tests or what percentage graduate should request that information directly from the school or the district.

The school offers Advanced Placement coursework, giving students access to college-level study and the opportunity to earn college credit. Beyond AP, the directory information does not detail other course offerings, career pathways, or vocational programs, so families should visit the school's website or contact the school directly to learn about the breadth of electives, career and technical education options, or dual enrollment with colleges.

The housing market around Staten Island has appreciated solidly, with homes in the area valued above the state average. Rents have remained relatively flat in recent months. The broader borough context shows active development on the North Shore waterfront, with major affordable housing projects recently completed or in planning stages, though the South Shore where this school sits has developed more slowly and remains predominantly single-family residential. Staten Island overall retains a suburban character within New York City, with neighborhoods that feel self-contained, separated by distance and topography, and defined by detached homes, tree-lined streets, and local commercial corridors rather than a single urban core. Public transit includes the Staten Island Ferry and Railway; most residents use cars for daily movement.

The district brief notes an ongoing elementary school seat deficit that has prompted construction and additions across Staten Island. This shortage does not directly affect high school admissions but is a context fact for families evaluating the district and the borough's capacity to absorb growth.

Data on special education enrollment, English learner enrollment, chronic absenteeism, and school discipline were not available for this school. A parent seeking detail on these dimensions should ask the school directly. These gaps often reflect the nature of high schools and which data states and districts choose to report publicly, rather than a sign of weakness.

The school serves a four-year high school population in a suburban borough where most families have access to cars and where housing costs sit above state norms. For families considering this school, the questions to take to the school directly involve what academic pathways and career options it offers beyond AP, what supports it provides to students who qualify for lunch assistance, and how it compares to other high schools in the district or on the island in terms of graduation outcomes and college placement.

Graduation rate (ACGR)

>=99%Cohort of 342 students · Class of 2021

The federal source publishes a banded range instead of an exact rate when the graduating cohort is small enough that an exact number could risk identifying individual students.

How this school compares to all schools in this state

Each dot is one school’s SY 2020-21 graduation rate, binned by integer rate. Taller columns mean more schools at that rate. This school is highlighted.

1,253 schools plotted. 14 additional schools' rates are federally suppressed and not shown. Data: EDFacts SY 2020-21.

Advanced Placement & IB

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
