Where this number comes from →Economic need index86%57th percentile citywidecitywide median 83.8%2024-25
The DOE's estimate of how much economic hardship a school's students face. A student counts fully if their family receives public assistance, they lived in temporary housing in the past four years, or they are a recent-immigrant high schooler whose home language is not English. Otherwise they count by the poverty rate of their census tract. The school's figure is the average across its students, which is why it usually runs higher than the poverty measure.
