BROOKLYN EAST COLLEGIATE CHARTER SCHOOL

BROOKLYN EAST COLLEGIATE CHARTER SCHOOL is a Title I public charter middle school with about 335 students offering grade levels from 5th Grade to 8th 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 25 teachers, BROOKLYN EAST COLLEGIATE CHARTER SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. 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 EAST COLLEGIATE CHARTER SCHOOL, located in the Prospect Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, is a tuition-free public charter school that serves students in grades 6 through 8.

The school’s pedagogical approach focuses heavily on core subjects like English Language Arts and mathematics, integrated with a commitment to maintaining a disciplined and supportive school climate. By fostering a "college-bound" mindset from middle school onward, Brooklyn East Collegiate aims to provide its diverse student body with the necessary tools to excel in competitive high schools and, eventually, four-year university programs.
