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.

In my opinion VSC is one of the best middle schools overall in Brooklyn. At this school teachers and peers really push you hard enough so that you can make it somewhere in life. Life at VSC was a huge challenge emotionally and mentally . VSC helped me get where I am today which is excelling in all my classes and aiming for my advanced regents diploma.

This School is very educated the problem is they give short notice on events like senior dues and pictures they only give you a week notice for pictures and two weeks for senior dues which is unacceptable they should be on board in advance

My experience at this school was definitely an unique experience. Not only was it a roller coaster of emotions, but it was also a rewarding adventure in the sense of bettering my individuality, and broadening my learning abilities.
