GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Overall the school has been good and I have met people I would stay in touch with past high school. I would say that the math department could be better.

I mostly enjoyed the community inside of the school. There were many student targeted activities and trips planned.

Brooklyn High School of the Arts is a all-around average school. The teachers are okay, the environment is fine, and being a NYC public school, the lunch is always revolting. Still, the classes are usually interesting and educating. The teachers really care and the clubs really feel like a little community inside a community. If there's one thing I would change, it would be to make the girls locker-room as big as the boys one. (Why is their locker-room so big??)
