BROOME STREET ACADEMY CHARTER HIGH SCHOOL

BROOME STREET ACADEMY CHARTER HIGH SCHOOL is a Title I public charter high school that is part of the BROOME STREET ACADEMY CHARTER HIGH SCHOOL school district, located in NEW YORK, NY with about 333 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 32 teachers, BROOME STREET ACADEMY CHARTER HIGH SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 10:1. 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.

Broome Street Academy (BSA) is a tuition-free public charter high school located in the SoHo neighborhood of Manhattan. Founded as an extension of The Door—a renowned youth development organization—the school is uniquely designed to serve students who may have struggled in traditional educational settings. By leveraging a holistic model, the academy integrates rigorous academics with comprehensive social and support services, ensuring that students receive the emotional, physical, and mental health resources necessary to succeed both in the classroom and beyond.

The school is defined by its commitment to inclusivity and personalized learning, operating under the philosophy that every student deserves a pathway to college and career readiness regardless of their previous academic history. Because of its partnership with The Door, BSA students have access to a "one-stop shop" of wraparound services, including counseling, legal assistance, health clinics, and extracurricular programming. This integrated approach creates a supportive community environment that focuses on building resilience, fostering professional development, and preparing students for life after graduation.
