John Jay School for Law

John Jay School for Law, located in the historic John Jay Educational Campus in Park Slope, Brooklyn, serves students in grades 9-12 with a focus on law-related subjects and college preparation. The school aims to cultivate excellence through rigorous academics and extracurricular activities, offering opportunities for mock trials and internships at law firms. Parents consistently report high satisfaction with the school, praising the supportive staff and strong sense of community. The school's college enrollment rate is a strength, performing above the citywide median. However, the graduation rate is a concern, falling at the 25th percentile citywide. Regents exam pass rates are mixed, with strong performance in US History but notably low rates in subjects like Geometry, Chemistry, and Algebra. Student surveys indicate some concerns regarding school cleanliness, bullying, and physical altercations, though students generally feel safe in common areas and with safety agents. The school offers a variety of clubs, sports, and arts programs, including dance and instrumental music. The building itself, constructed in 1902 in the Modern French Renaissance style, features impressive facilities like multiple gyms and a pool.
