Summary

Brooklyn School For Math And Research (The) is a public high school serving 350 students in grades 9-12, located in the New York City Geographic District #32. Despite the district's low ranking, this school stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently outpacing both the district and state averages on various Regents exams, including Common Core Algebra II, Common Core English Language Arts, Global History and Geography, and U.S. History and Government.

The school's academic performance is particularly noteworthy, with proficiency rates often 20-30 percentage points higher than the district and state. This strong academic achievement is reflected in the school's relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 74.4% to 96.6% in recent years, and its lower dropout rate compared to the district and state. Additionally, the school's spending per student has increased significantly, from $12,899 in 2020-2021 to $29,281 in 2023-2024, suggesting a concerted effort to invest in educational resources and support for students.

While the school faces the challenge of relatively high chronic absenteeism, it has maintained a low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.2 to 12.3 in recent years, which is lower than the district and state averages. This, combined with the school's strong performance for African American and English Language Learner students, suggests that Brooklyn School For Math And Research (The) may have effective strategies in place to support the academic success of diverse student populations.
