The national average for public schools is about 15:1.

The **High School for Construction Trades, Engineering and Architecture (CTEA)**, located in Ozone Park, Queens, is a specialized career and technical education (CTE) school that focuses on preparing students for professional pathways in the building and design industries. The curriculum is designed to integrate rigorous academic coursework with hands-on technical training, allowing students to gain practical experience in fields such as architecture, civil engineering, electrical installation, plumbing, and carpentry. By bridging the gap between classroom theory and industry application, the school aims to equip students with both a high school diploma and industry-recognized certifications that are highly valued in the workforce.

Beyond its technical focus, CTEA emphasizes professional development, workplace readiness, and post-secondary planning. The school maintains strong partnerships with local unions, trade organizations, and higher education institutions, providing students with unique opportunities for internships, mentorships, and college credits. This comprehensive approach ensures that graduates are well-prepared to either transition directly into skilled trade apprenticeships or pursue advanced degrees in engineering and architecture at the collegiate level.
