BROOKLYN FRONTIERS HIGH SCHOOL

BROOKLYN FRONTIERS HIGH SCHOOL is a Title I public high school that is part of the NEW YORK CITY GEOGRAPHIC DISTRICT #15 school district, located in BROOKLYN, NY with about 146 students offering grade levels from 9th 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 21 teachers, BROOKLYN FRONTIERS HIGH SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 6:1. 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 FRONTIERS HIGH SCHOOL (BFHS), located in the Boerum Hill neighborhood of Brooklyn, is a specialized transfer high school designed specifically for students who have fallen behind in credits or have previously struggled in traditional educational settings. By offering a smaller, more intimate learning environment, the school focuses on re-engaging students who are at risk of dropping out, providing them with the necessary support and academic pathways to earn their high school diploma and prepare for life after graduation.

The school is operated in partnership with the organization Good Shepherd Services, which integrates social-emotional support directly into the academic experience. This model emphasizes restorative justice, individualized instruction, and mentorship, ensuring that students receive both the counseling and the academic structure they need to succeed. Through a combination of small class sizes, personalized learning plans, and a culture that prioritizes student agency, Brooklyn Frontiers serves as a vital resource for young people seeking a second chance to achieve their educational goals.
