Summary

Brooklyn Academy High School is a public high school in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades 10-12 with a total enrollment of 104 students. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #13, which is ranked 617 out of 874 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Brooklyn Academy High School consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of New York high schools, with low academic performance on Regents/Common Core exams across various subjects compared to district and state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 31.71% of students were proficient or better in Regents/Common Core English Language Arts, compared to 77.37% in the district and 75.29% statewide. The school also struggles with low graduation rates, ranging from 35.0% to 88.3% in recent years, and high dropout rates as high as 19.3%.

While Brooklyn Academy High School has a relatively high per-student spending of $45,734 and a low student-to-teacher ratio of 7.3, these resources have not translated into improved student outcomes. Nearby schools in the same district, such as Brooklyn Community Arts And Media High School and Brooklyn High School For Leadership And Community Service, have similar academic performance and student demographics. However, some schools outside the district, such as Bedford Academy High School, have significantly higher academic performance and graduation rates despite serving a similar student population. Addressing the root causes of the school's underperformance, such as high rates of poverty, special education needs, and chronic absenteeism, will be crucial for improving the educational experience and outcomes for the students at Brooklyn Academy High School.
