GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

International High School at prospect heights was a really good school for me. I got transferred to that high school a year before the pandemic ended, and the teachers were so comfortable talking with anyone. I gained confidence speaking English after a few weeks of classes in that school. The only bad part it's that sometimes students get a little bit of complications with some teachers. However; everything was good.

The most outstanding high school of NYC. The support students recieve is really unique and meaningful for all of us no matter our race, religion, sex, gender or disabilities, you will have the opportunity to contribute your knowledge, express your feelings, ideas or point of views with respectfully listeners. The support and helpful interactions that students have with each other makes this high school makes it the best.

The school provides a supportive environment for English language learners in NYC. Students must have been in the country for four years or less at the time of entry and learning English.
