FRESHMAN CENTER

FRESHMAN CENTER is a Title I public secondary school that is part of the BRENTWOOD UNION FREE SCHOOL DISTRICT school district, located in BRENTWOOD, NY with about 1,143 students. Student demographics can be found below. 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 62 teachers, FRESHMAN CENTER has a student/teacher ratio of about 18:1. 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.

The Brentwood FRESHMAN CENTER, located at 33 Leahy Avenue in Brentwood, New York, serves as a dedicated transitional campus for ninth-grade students within the Brentwood Union Free School District. By housing the freshman class in a separate facility, the school provides a specialized environment designed to bridge the gap between middle school and the larger, more complex high school experience. This configuration allows educators to focus specifically on the academic, social, and developmental needs of students during this pivotal first year of high school.

The center emphasizes building a strong foundation for future success by fostering a supportive community where students can adjust to increased academic expectations and school culture. As part of the broader Brentwood school system, the FRESHMAN CENTER aligns its curriculum and extracurricular offerings with the district's mission to prepare students for their subsequent years at Brentwood High School.
