School Overview

The Brentwood Residential Center, located at 1230 Commack Road in Dix Hills, New York, is a state-operated facility managed by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS). Unlike a traditional academic school, this facility serves as a residential placement for youth who have been adjudicated by the court system. It functions as a secure or limited-secure detention and rehabilitation environment, focusing on providing youth with behavioral guidance, therapeutic support, and structure to facilitate their successful reintegration into the community.

Within the center, education is a primary component of the daily programming. The facility maintains an on-site educational program designed to meet the academic needs of the residents, typically following New York State curriculum standards. The instructional focus is often on credit recovery, basic skills development, and vocational readiness, ensuring that students continue their schooling while they fulfill their residential requirements. The overall objective of the Brentwood Residential Center is to combine academic instruction with counseling and rehabilitative services to help young people address the circumstances that led to their placement and prepare them for a productive future.
