School Overview
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. For more information regarding the school’s academic programs, policies, and calendar, you can visit their official district website at [www.brentwood.k12.ny.us](http://www.brentwood.k12.ny.us).
