Fort Greene Preparatory Academy

Fort Greene Preparatory Academy is a small middle school in Brooklyn, serving grades 6-8, known for its strong community and diverse learning opportunities. The school offers an inquiry-based curriculum with pathways in Visual Arts, Music, STEM, and World Languages, including a French Dual Language program. Partnerships with various organizations enrich these programs, and students have opportunities for advanced studies, including Regents exams in Algebra and Living Environment. While ELA proficiency is near the citywide median, math proficiency is below the 25th percentile. However, the school demonstrates a significant strength in accelerated coursework, with a much higher percentage of students taking advanced classes compared to the citywide average. Parents consistently praise the dedicated and supportive teachers and administration, highlighting a strong sense of community and individualized attention due to the school's smaller size. The school receives an "Excellent" rating for relationships with families, and parent survey results show very high satisfaction. While students generally feel safe with safety agents, survey results indicate concerns regarding student-on-student bullying, physical fights, and fair conflict resolution. The school is co-located with an elementary school.
