Overview
Tottenville High School is a high school in Staten Island, New York, one of the five boroughs of New York City. Its official website identifies the campus at 100 Luten Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10312, and lists grades 9 through 12 [1]. The New York State Education Department (NYSED) data profile lists the school’s legal name as TOTTENVILLE HIGH SCHOOL and reports a total enrollment of 3,796 students for the 2023–24 reporting period [2]. The school’s official website states that Tottenville High School was established in 1898 [1].
This profile summarizes information available from the school’s official pages and from NYSED’s state data profile. It is intended to help parents, caregivers, students, and other readers understand what the school is, whom it serves, what programs it reports, and how to check current details. It is not a ranking, an evaluation of school quality, or a recommendation. Where the school’s own website and NYSED report different figures, both are presented with their reporting context.
Location and School Identity
Tottenville High School is located at 100 Luten Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10312 [1][3]. Staten Island is a borough of New York City and is also known as Richmond County. The school’s official website uses the name Tottenville High School and the abbreviation THS [1][3]. NYSED’s data profile lists the legal name as TOTTENVILLE HIGH SCHOOL and provides the institution ID 800000041746 and BEDS code 353100011455 [2]. The official website and NYSED both list the school’s phone number as (718) 668-8800; the official website also lists a fax number, (718) 668-8888 [1][2].
The name Tottenville High School refers to this Staten Island school. A campus address, however, does not by itself establish attendance boundaries or admissions eligibility. The supplied sources do not describe a specific attendance zone, district admissions process, or eligibility rules for Tottenville High School [1][2][3]. Readers should therefore treat the address as location information only and verify enrollment eligibility through official channels.
Grades and Academic Programs
Tottenville High School serves grades 9 through 12, according to its official website [1]. The school’s mission statement describes a commitment to placing students at the center of teaching and learning through rigorous academic programs, career and technical education (CTE) pathways, music and the arts, extracurricular opportunities, and a multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) [3]. The vision statement adds that the school aims to offer culturally responsive instruction, innovative career and technical pathways, and personalized support systems grounded in data [3]. These statements describe the school’s stated goals; they are not independent measures of student outcomes.
The official website lists several program figures without attaching a reporting year: 9 CTE accredited programs, 27 Advanced Placement (AP) classes, and 42 honors classes [1]. The same page also lists 42 sports teams [1]. Because these figures are school-published and undated, readers should confirm current course offerings, program availability, and athletic offerings directly with the school. The phrase CTE accredited programs is the school’s wording; the supplied source does not name the accrediting body, list the individual CTE programs, or explain what each program includes [1].
Advanced Placement (AP) courses are generally college-level courses that may allow students to earn college credit or advanced placement based on exam performance, subject to each college’s policies. Honors courses are generally designed to offer greater academic challenge than standard courses in a subject. CTE programs generally combine academic instruction with technical or occupational skills. These general descriptions explain common terms; they do not establish specific policies, prerequisites, or credit outcomes at Tottenville High School.
NYSED’s 2023–24 data profile includes links to an AP & IB Report, High School Graduation Pathways Data, and a School Report Card, but the retrieved search results do not include the contents of those linked reports [2]. This profile therefore does not state AP participation rates, IB participation, exam scores, or pathway completion rates beyond what the school itself publishes. Readers who need those details should consult the linked NYSED reports or ask the school for current program information.
Enrollment and School Data
NYSED’s 2023–24 school profile reports a total enrollment of 3,796 students at Tottenville High School [2]. The school’s official website displays a rounded enrollment figure of 3,900, but it does not attach a reporting year to that number [1]. Because the NYSED figure is dated to 2023–24, it is the more specific enrollment value in the supplied evidence. The difference between 3,796 and 3,900 may reflect rounding, different reporting dates, or both; the available sources do not explain the discrepancy.
For the same 2023–24 reporting period, NYSED reports a 4-year graduation rate of 94% [2]. The school’s official website lists a 96% graduation rate, again without a reporting year [1]. A 4-year graduation rate is a cohort measure: it generally describes the percentage of students in a defined entering group who graduate within four years. It does not describe every student’s experience, and it should not be read as a complete measure of school quality. The NYSED profile also lists the school’s accountability status as Local Support and Improvement [2]. Accountability categories are defined by state and federal education rules; readers should consult NYSED for the current definition and for the data behind the status.
The official website states that graduates have earned more than $110 million in merit-based scholarships [1]. This is an undated, school-reported aggregate. It does not indicate how many students received scholarships, which graduating classes are included, or whether the total represents scholarship offers rather than amounts actually received. It should be interpreted as a school-published figure rather than a state-verified statistic.
NYSED’s 2023–24 profile identifies Gina Battista as acting principal [2]. School leadership can change, and the title acting principal reflects the reporting period. Readers should confirm current administration through the school’s official website or by contacting the school. The NYSED profile also includes a link to enrollment details and other school data pages, but the retrieved summary does not provide student-teacher ratios, average class sizes, attendance rates, or assessment results [2]. Those values are therefore omitted from this profile rather than estimated.
Readers comparing schools should use the same reporting period and the same measure. The NYSED profile is a state data page, while the school’s website is a school-controlled page. The two may update on different schedules. In this profile, the 2023–24 NYSED figures are labeled by year, and the school website figures are labeled as undated. Missing values are not treated as zero. For example, the absence of a student-teacher ratio in the retrieved summary does not mean the school lacks one; it means the supplied evidence did not include it.
Admissions and Enrollment
The supplied sources do not describe Tottenville High School’s admissions criteria, application timeline, attendance zone, or enrollment procedures [1][2][3]. This profile therefore cannot state whether admission is based on neighborhood attendance, a centralized application, selective criteria, an audition, or another process. It also cannot confirm whether the school accepts students from outside a particular attendance area. Families seeking current information should consult the school’s official website and the relevant New York City or New York State education authority. Nothing in this profile should be read as a guarantee of eligibility or admission.
Because admissions rules and deadlines can change, readers should verify requirements directly with the school or the office that manages applications for the relevant school year. The school’s listed phone number is (718) 668-8800 [1][2]. The official website is the primary school-controlled source for announcements and contact details [1].
Student Services and Family Information
The school’s mission statement refers to a multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) and to a safe, supportive, and inclusive school culture [3]. MTSS is a general education framework that uses increasingly intensive levels of academic, behavioral, or social-emotional support based on student need. The mission statement indicates that the school describes itself as using this framework, but the supplied sources do not detail specific services, eligibility criteria, staffing, or outcomes. The vision statement also mentions personalized support systems grounded in data and partnerships with families, staff, and community stakeholders [3]. Those statements describe the school’s stated approach rather than verified service levels.
The supplied sources do not provide verified information about accessibility accommodations, English language learner services, counseling, transportation, meals, or family engagement programs at Tottenville High School [1][2][3]. These services may be available, but this profile does not assume that they are. Families should contact the school directly for current information about services, accommodations, and family resources.
The school’s mission statement mentions music and the arts and extracurricular opportunities [3], and the official website lists 42 sports teams [1]. These are the only extracurricular details supported by the supplied sources. Specific club lists, arts ensembles, eligibility rules, and participation requirements are not included in the retrieved evidence and should be confirmed with the school.
History and Community Context
Tottenville High School states on its official website that it was established in 1898 [1]. The school is located in the Tottenville area of Staten Island, within New York City [1][3]. The supplied sources do not provide a detailed founding history, campus construction timeline, or neighborhood demographic context. The school’s mission statement frames its work as shaping the next generation of leaders on Staten Island and serving a unified school community of educators, students, families, and partners [3]. That language is part of the school’s stated mission, not an independent assessment of community impact.
Because the school has served students for more than a century according to its own website, readers interested in historical context should consult the school and local historical sources. The retrieved evidence does not support claims about the school’s reputation, historical rankings, or long-term outcomes.
How to Verify Current Information
School programs, enrollment rules, leadership, and data updates can change. Readers should verify details with primary sources:
