BROOKLYN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL

BROOKLYN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL is a Title I public high school that is part of the NEW YORK CITY GEOGRAPHIC DISTRICT #13 school district, located in BROOKLYN, NY with about 140 students offering grade levels from 10th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 12 teachers, BROOKLYN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. 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.

BROOKLYN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL, located at 832 Marcy Avenue in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, is a New York City public school that serves students in grades 9 through 12. As a "transfer school," it is specifically designed to support students who have fallen behind in credits or have previously struggled in traditional high school settings. The school focuses on re-engaging these students by providing a smaller, more personalized educational environment that prioritizes academic recovery, social-emotional support, and individualized graduation planning.

The school is known for fostering a tight-knit community atmosphere, emphasizing strong relationships between staff and students to help overcome barriers to learning. By offering flexible scheduling and targeted academic interventions, Brooklyn Academy aims to help students who might otherwise be at risk of dropping out to earn their Regents diplomas. The program is geared toward those looking for a "second chance" in a supportive setting that prepares them for post-secondary opportunities, including college and vocational careers.
