MACCORMICK SECURE CENTER is a public high school that is part of the NEW YORK STATE OFFICE OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY SERVICES (OCFS) school district, located in BROOKTONDALE, NY with about 17 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 35 teachers, MACCORMICK SECURE CENTER has a student/teacher ratio of about 0:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1.

MACCORMICK SECURE CENTER, located in Brooktondale, New York, is a high-security residential facility operated by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS). It serves as a juvenile detention and rehabilitation center for male youth who have been adjudicated by the courts for serious offenses. Because it is classified as a "secure" facility, the center is designed with stringent safety measures, including perimeter fencing and constant staff supervision, to ensure both public safety and the security of the residents within the facility.
The primary mission of the center is to provide a structured environment that balances rehabilitation with education and behavioral development. Residents at MacCormick participate in comprehensive academic programming—often provided through state-certified school districts—to ensure they continue their education despite their incarceration. Additionally, the facility focuses on clinical services, counseling, and vocational training designed to address the underlying issues that led to the youth's involvement with the justice system, with the ultimate goal of preparing them for successful reentry into their communities.
