When I first came into the schools it was nothing but people wanting to fight with each other but if you look past all that they school is a college based school which tries to prepare you for college classes and gives many opportunities such as summer programs, jobs, getting extra credit, going on cool field trips and more.

I transferred into this school as a junior with the goal of attending a four-year college, and I'm grateful for how well it prepared me. I developed academic skills that helped me excel. Most teachers were great—personable yet professional—and went the extra mile to ensure I understood the material. The school administration was very involved, and they knew students by name, which was a change compared to the inner-city schools I attended. The college counselors were helpful and realistic, though sometimes dismissive and likely overworked. School activities were decent, with students involved in various sports, some of which were integrated with other schools on campus. While I don't recall many clubs, there were opportunities and resources, including in-class activities like cooking lessons. I loved the different pot lucks, talent shows and school trips. I didn't get super involved with the students but they were nice, some immature so I didn't interact too much.

Brooklyn Prepatory was a very good high-school. Every year administration looked for new ways to attack the year bringing new things to the school and kicking out old ways if it wasn't working with the teacher to student quota. The sports was very known for mainly basketball and baseball being in the middle of Brooklyn having limited school space their wasnt many facilities.

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...
