The Downside
Attendance is a work-in-progress
William E. Grady High School combines traditional academic courses with career and technical education. Students can study automotive repair, carpentry, culinary arts, computer repair, and nursing, gaining hands-on experience alongside their regular academic classes.
The school is a good fit for students who want work options beyond a traditional college path. Many programs offer industry certifications and internships in fields such as automotive, construction, culinary arts and information technology. The construction program also connects students with industry partners and trade unions, giving them a chance to learn about careers in the field.
The school website shows students building stage sets for a local elementary school, visiting colleges in Philadelphia, and participating in robotics competitions. Grady also offers a range of advanced courses, including college level options such as Advanced Placement classes.
Grady's academic outcomes are mixed. The four-year graduation rate is below the citywide average. More than one-third of the students took a college-level course or earned a professional certificate. Enrollment is growing but attendance remains a challenge. On the NYC School Survey, most students say they feel safe in the hallways, bathrooms and locker rooms, though many say bullying is a problem. Most teachers would recommend the school to other families.
Grady serves students with a wide range of academic and support needs. More than half miss many days of school. This can make it harder to keep up with schoolwork and adds to the challenge for teachers, who need to balance helping students catch up while continuing lessons for those in class.
In addition to its CTE shops, Grady has a gym and other spaces for sports and the arts. The school offers after-school activities, including varsity sports. Its campus is at 25 Brighton 4 Road, near Shore Parkway, about a five-minute walk from the Brighton Beach subway station, served by the B and Q. (Lydie Raschka, official reports, September 2026)
