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.

Great school I've truly enjoyed learning for powerful figures who looks like me. This school has kept me globally conscious and globally competitive.

My experience with Eagle is life-changing. My principal prepares us for the real world. As a young black man living in Brooklyn, I already have a target on my back, so my goals are to graduate and to continue the legacy of Eagle and become next eagle alum to graduate from a 4-year institution.
