Location and School Identity
New Dorp High School is at 465 New Dorp Lane, Staten Island, NY 10306 [1][2]. The campus is listed as partially accessible in its NYC MySchools profile [2]. The school’s official website uses the domain newdorphs.org, and the NYC MySchools listing links to the same site [1][2]. The school code 31R440 appears in the NYC MySchools URL and listing, which helps distinguish it from other schools with similar names [2].
New Dorp High School should not be confused with other schools or programs that may share the New Dorp name or be located nearby. The sources used here describe the high school at 465 New Dorp Lane; they do not establish attendance boundaries or neighborhood eligibility. In New York City, a school’s physical location does not by itself determine which students are eligible to attend, and families should confirm admissions rules with official sources [2].
Grades and Academic Programs
New Dorp High School serves grades 9 to 12 [2]. Its NYC MySchools listing says the school offers a challenging course curriculum, theme-based electives, college-level courses, extracurricular activities, and PSAL sports [2]. The listing also notes diploma endorsements and college-level courses including Advanced Placement (AP), College Extension, College Now, and FutureReadyNYC [2].
Advanced Placement and College-Level Courses
The NYC MySchools listing names advanced courses that include Algebra II (Advanced Math), AP Biology, AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, AP Computer Science A, AP Computer Science Principles, AP English Language and Composition, AP English Literature and Composition, AP Microeconomics, AP Physics 1, AP Pre-Calculus, AP Psychology, AP Statistics, and AP Studio Art [2]. The list in the retrieved excerpt ends with AP Studio… and may be truncated; readers should consult the official listing for the complete and current course inventory [2].
Career and Technical Education
The NYC MySchools listing identifies CTE programs in Digital Communication, Entrepreneurship, and Technical Theatre [2]. A separate school page describes the Corporate Center for Business & Technology, which is designed to prepare students for college and the workplace through multi-year coursework in business and technology [3]. Within that center, the Entrepreneurship program is described as a New York State-approved CTE program that can earn students a technical endorsement on their high school diploma [3]. The school page lists two areas of concentration within Entrepreneurship: Virtual Enterprise and Software Engineering [3].
The Virtual Enterprise program is described as an in-school, live, global business simulation that uses project-based, collaborative learning to develop skills in entrepreneurship, global business, problem solving, communication, personal finance, and technology [3]. Students in that program learn finance, marketing, information systems, economics, and international business [3]. The Software Engineering Program is described as a standards-aligned computer science and software engineering education program for grades 6 to 12 that develops computational thinking and problem-solving skills in real-world contexts [3]. Students learn tools and languages such as Scratch, Arduino, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Processing, App Inventor, Python, and Java [3].
Smaller Learning Communities
New Dorp High School is described as a comprehensive high school that provides a small, personalized setting for each student in one of eight Smaller Learning Communities [2]. The retrieved sources do not list every Smaller Learning Community or explain the assignment process. Families should check the school’s official website or NYC MySchools for current details [1][2].
Enrollment and School Data
Official data can help families understand a school, but the figures must be read with their reporting period and definitions. The NYC MySchools listing for New Dorp High School includes a figure of 3,128 in the same line as the grade range and school hours; the retrieved excerpt does not label that figure or state its reporting year [2]. Because the source does not clearly identify it as enrollment or specify the year, readers should treat it as an unconfirmed listing figure and verify the current enrollment directly with NYC MySchools or the school [2].
The same listing reports performance and climate information. It states that 87% of students graduate in four years and 60% of students enroll in college or career programs [2]. Under safety and school climate, it reports that 87% of students feel safe in the hallways and cafeteria, 87% feel safe in the bathrooms and locker rooms, and 58% feel that the school offers a wide enough variety of programs, classes, and activities to keep them interested in school [2]. These figures are presented in the NYC MySchools listing, but the retrieved excerpt does not include the survey year or the full methodology [2]. They should not be treated as a complete measure of school quality, and they do not establish cause and effect. The listing also includes a Safety and School Climate rating of Good and a Relationships with Families rating of Good [2].
The school’s NYC MySchools profile lists school hours as 8:00 a.m. to 2:20 p.m. [2]. It also lists bus routes S51, S57, S76, S78, S79-SBS, S81, S86, SIM1, SIM10, SIM11, SIM1C, SIM5, SIM6, SIM7, and SIM9 [2]. Bus routes and schedules can change, so families should confirm current transportation information with the school or New York City agencies [2].
Admissions and Enrollment
The retrieved NYC MySchools page is the official school listing for New Dorp High School and is the appropriate starting point for admissions information [2]. However, the sources provided here do not include specific admissions criteria, application deadlines, priority rules, or eligibility requirements for New Dorp High School [2]. Families should not assume that living near the school or attending a particular middle school guarantees admission. For current New York City high school admissions rules and deadlines, readers should consult NYC MySchools and the New York City Public Schools admissions office [2]. The school’s official website may also publish open house and application-related announcements [1].
Student Services and Family Information
New Dorp High School is listed as partially accessible in its NYC MySchools profile [2]. The retrieved sources do not provide details about specific accessibility features, language support services, counseling, or other student supports. Families who need information about accessibility, language access, or special education services should contact the school directly and confirm current arrangements with the New York City Public Schools [1][2].
The school homepage retrieved in October 2026 announced several family events and forms. It advertised an Open House on Wednesday, October 21, from 6-8 PM [1]. It also listed a SYNC Grades parent workshop on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, at noon and another on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. [1]. The homepage included a Smile New York student permission form for in-school dental care with a deadline of October 14, 2026 [1]. It also encouraged families to complete a Family Financial Income Form to support school funding [1]. These items are dated announcements from the school website and may have changed after the retrieval date; readers should check the official site for current schedules and forms [1].
History and Community Context
The retrieved sources do not include a founding date, historical milestones, or community history for New Dorp High School. This profile therefore does not state those details. Readers interested in the school’s history should consult the school’s official website or New York City Public Schools records [1][2].
How to Verify Current Information
To verify current information, start with the school’s official website at https://www.newdorphs.org/ [1]. The NYC MySchools listing at https://www.myschools.nyc/en/schools/high-school/31R440/ provides the school code 31R440, grade range, accessibility status, school hours, bus routes, and reported performance and climate figures [2]. The school’s Corporate Center page provides details about the Business & Technology programs, Virtual Enterprise, and Software Engineering [3]. Because programs, admissions rules, staff, and schedules can change, families should confirm important details directly with the school or the relevant New York City Public Schools office before making decisions [1][2].
