HARVEST COLLEGIATE HIGH SCHOOL
HARVEST COLLEGIATE HIGH SCHOOL is a public high school that is part of the NEW YORK CITY GEOGRAPHIC DISTRICT # 2 school district, located in NEW YORK, NY with about 494 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 38 teachers, HARVEST COLLEGIATE HIGH SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.
HARVEST COLLEGIATE HIGH SCHOOL, located in the Flatiron District of Manhattan, is a progressive, inquiry-based public school that emphasizes a "humanistic" approach to education. The school is known for its commitment to restorative justice practices and a rigorous academic culture that prioritizes student voice, agency, and social responsibility. Rather than relying solely on traditional testing, the curriculum is heavily project-based, requiring students to demonstrate mastery through exhibitions, portfolios, and "Performance Tasks" that mirror the demands of higher education and professional work.
The school is structured to foster a tight-knit, supportive community where every student is known personally by the staff. Its academic model is centered on the "New York Performance Standards Consortium," which allows Harvest to replace many state Regents exams with student-led research projects and oral defenses. By integrating deep interdisciplinary study with a focus on community service and real-world application, Harvest Collegiate seeks to prepare its diverse student body not just for college admission, but for meaningful participation in democratic society and lifelong intellectual curiosity.
