Success Academy Charter School–Crown Heights is part of the Success Academy network, the largest and highest-performing charter school organization in New York City. Located at 330 Crown Street in Brooklyn, the school serves students from kindergarten through middle school grades. Like other schools in the network, it operates on a "no excuses" educational philosophy, characterized by a rigorous, fast-paced curriculum that places a heavy emphasis on core academic subjects—specifically mathematics, literacy, and science—alongside a structured behavioral code designed to foster discipline and academic focus.

The school is well-known for its extended school day and year, which provide students with more instructional time than traditional district schools. Its academic model is data-driven, utilizing frequent assessments to monitor student progress and tailor instruction to individual needs. While Success Academy schools consistently rank among the highest-performing in the state on standardized tests, the model is often a subject of public debate; proponents praise its ability to close the achievement gap for underserved communities, while critics frequently point to its high suspension rates and demanding attrition policies as areas of concern.
