Location and School Identity
Stuyvesant High School is located at 345 Chambers Street in Manhattan, New York, NY 10282 [3]. Its NYC DBN is 02M475, and its state BEDS code is 310200011475 [1][3]. The school is part of New York City Public Schools; NYC MySchools is the city’s official platform for school listings and high school admissions information [3]. The NYSED profile identifies the district/school support model as Local Support and Improvement for the reporting period shown [1].
Because New York City has multiple high schools and specialized programs, readers should use the DBN, BEDS code, and official website to confirm they are looking at the correct school. The physical location of a school in Manhattan does not by itself establish attendance-zone eligibility or admission eligibility for any NYC public high school. The supplied sources do not describe a neighborhood attendance boundary for Stuyvesant.

For the same year, the Student and Educator Report reported 1,445 students eligible for free lunch (44%) and 215 students eligible for reduced-price lunch (7%) [2]. These figures describe eligibility counts and percentages for the reported period; they are not measures of school quality.

NYC MySchools lists a School Quality Snapshot summary for Stuyvesant. According to that listing, 98% of students graduate in four years, 98% enroll in college or career programs, and 95% of students feel that the school offers a wide enough variety of programs, classes, and activities to keep them interested in school [3]. The same listing rates relationships with families as Good [3]. These figures come from the MySchools listing and may reflect a different reporting period than the NYSED 2024–25 data; readers should check the source for the applicable year and methodology. The retrieved NYSED profile excerpt includes a heading for the 4-year graduation rate but does not display a numeric value [1].
Data users should keep several limitations in mind. Enrollment, class size, and staff counts describe a particular school year and can change. Free and reduced-price lunch eligibility is a demographic and economic indicator, not a judgment about instruction. When a source does not display a value, that absence should not be interpreted as zero. Different official sources may publish figures for different reporting periods, so comparisons should be made carefully and with attention to the year and population being measured.
Admissions and Enrollment
The supplied sources do not describe Stuyvesant High School’s current admissions criteria, application deadlines, or eligibility rules. NYC MySchools is the official New York City Public Schools platform for high school admissions information and school listings [3]. Families should consult NYC MySchools and the school’s official website for current application requirements and deadlines. This profile does not imply guaranteed admission, and it does not establish that living near the school creates eligibility. Admission policies can change, so readers should verify details directly with NYC Public Schools and the school.
