Niche Reviews
3/10/2022
As a teacher I found the students really wholesome and engaged. But the administration keeps people pit against each other and the turnover is so high that it's barely worth it to get emotionally invested. Ridiculously outdated equipment and materials. If they can cut a corner they will, but then waste money on ... food trucks. Seriously - the printers barely worked for a year and the head of school paid for food trucks and lame tote bags. Oh well - don't believe the hype.

Excellent school. The teachers are extremely dedicated and compassionate and the students are intellectually curious and eager to learn.
4/9/2020
The philosophy, commitment of faculty and staff and the academic and college preparation creates students who are critical thinkers and leaders.

The hypocrisy of claiming repeatedly that they career student voice and repeatedly ignoring student voice is hard to take.
4/16/2024
This school is falling apart because of the Head of School. Just so unkind, insincere, and deeply unprofessional institution. They don't seem to care about about people and their values are not emblematic of Quaker values. We left.
2/20/2024
There are some truly kind teachers. But school run very much like a business, especially in recent years. Not inspired.
2/21/2022

Brooklyn Friends sets high expectations for both learning and behavior. Students are expected to achieve excellence...
