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 opportunity for college classes and the chance to be on campus is the best part of my experience. The worst part wasn't necessarily anything, I understand it's not a sports based school, but I would've liked to see more sports incorporated.

I loved the activities and the school spirit the school had. I also loved the teachers and how kind and caring they were towards they're students. I didn't like how unorganized they were and always doing everything late.

At Brooklyn College Academy I liked the fact that I could,d take college classes and get college classes for free. I as well liked how I was able to learn skills that would aid me as a future college student. Both the high-school teachers and college professors are very good at teaching and preparing us for reagents or finals.

This is a great school my son went here for one year but after coming from a larger school he did not like it so he moved with his dad and transfered.
