BUSHWICK COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL

BUSHWICK COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL is a Title I public high school that is part of the NEW YORK CITY GEOGRAPHIC DISTRICT #32 school district, located in BROOKLYN, NY with about 202 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 10 teachers, BUSHWICK COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 20:1. 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.

BUSHWICK COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL, located at 231 Palmetto Street in Brooklyn, is a transfer school within the New York City Department of Education specifically designed to support students who have fallen behind in credits or have previously struggled in a traditional high school setting. As a part of the Citywide Transfer School network, the institution prioritizes a personalized approach to education, focusing on helping students get back on track to earn their high school diplomas. The school environment is typically characterized by smaller class sizes and robust student support services, which are essential for meeting the unique social, emotional, and academic needs of students who require a second chance at success.

Beyond its focus on credit recovery, BUSHWICK COMMUNITY HIGH SCHOOL emphasizes a supportive community culture aimed at fostering student engagement and persistence. By offering a more flexible and individualized curriculum, the school works to remove common barriers to graduation and helps students develop the skills necessary for post-secondary education or the workforce. It serves as a vital resource for the Bushwick community, providing a structured pathway for young people to overcome previous educational challenges and achieve their academic goals in a smaller, more intimate school setting.
