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 social scene at Brooklyn Ave school is great. They provide counseling to students and if parents have any issue they can e-mail or call the teachers so issues can be resolved. I think the school has teacher that really care for the students and their sucess as individuals and academically. The school help students to get involved in different clubs like art, math and sports.
