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.

The school is a very involved and close knit community. There is a lot of support and the academic schedule really pushes you to come out of your comfort zone.

Advantages - They offer lots of resources for the students like AP classes, they offer free SAT help, tutoring, internships, activities outside of school, jobs, scholarships, and more that they let kids know about. - They dismiss students early one day out of the week. - They allow students to go outside and buy lunch. - Area feels safe. - Most of the teachers care for the students' academic, outside life and overall wellbeing. - The school is kept clean majority of the time. - Community wise, most of the kids are respectful and not a problem. You could definitely find yourself making a decent click of friends as long as you at least try to put in some effort. Disadvantages: - I feel like it is not too challenging academically but this may be an advantage for students who are not too studious looking for a moderate work load. - Gym can sometimes be lazy. - Not much service in the building. - They could improve clubs and activities - Should have more trips (It's getting better)

It is a small school allowing students to build a strong bond and connection with teachers. It is also a college readiness school which helps you take Advanced Placement classes so you can get college credit and save money in college if you pass. It has many extracurricular activities that helps you build up a resume when applying to colleges. We have one on one peer tutoring if you feel like you are falling behind in class you will get help from other students who are exceeding in the class that you are struggling in. The school also gets connection with programs that help you get scholarships and programs for students who are low income and the expenses of college may be too much. Teachers and staff are always there to make sure you are doing well and that your having a great day. Incoming freshmen will have a mentor to guide them through their first year of high school and help them get adjusted to the change.

I feel like Brooklyn Prep is an underprivileged school and it's not fair. On an everyday bases I run into peers with amazing potential. This school is not 2/10. We just lack resources and options. Imagine if every high school had the things Brooklyn Tech has. And we wonder why we are seeing no progr...
