Niche Grade
Park Slope Collegiate is located at 237 7th Avenue, 4th Floor, Brooklyn, NY 11215. The school serves children in grades 6 through 12 from the local Park Slope neighborhood. Because teachers know how challenging it is to create a strong sense of community among people from different backgrounds, schools have an intimate atmosphere and small class sizes. Classes include global studies, English, Language Arts, Algebra or Geometry, Physical Education, Art, Spanish, and more. Students build social, emotional, thinking, and problem-solving skills. Students are encouraged to voice their opinions and given a safe space to develop strong relationships with their peers and teachers. At Park Sope Collegiate, preparing students to transition to college is a high priority for the teachers and faculty. The school holds an annual Career and College Day to bring alums and special guests to talk about life after high school. In addition, students have access to a dedicated guidance counselor who will explain the difference between types of colleges and what colleges are looking for in their applicants. Historically the school has an excellent track record for graduating students and sending them to two and four-year colleges.

Not a bad school, recommend for lower income families because they cover expenses for trips and such.

There were many changes going on within the school politically and administratively, yet the staff continued staying true to the school mission and fostering an ideal environment for students who wished to pursue passions not only in school, but outside as well.
