Brooklyn High School for Law and Technology

Brooklyn High School for Law and Technology, serving grades 9-12, offers specialized pathways in law and technology within a historic, renovated RKO Bushwick Theater building that features a television studio and moot courtroom. The school emphasizes inquiry-based, real-world learning, including Advanced Placement and College Now courses. Its graduation rate is around the citywide median, though college enrollment is below average, with some graduates requiring remedial college courses. While Regents pass rates are strong in US History and Languages other than English, they are a concern in math and science subjects. Parents consistently report overwhelmingly positive experiences, praising the welcoming staff and strong family relationships. Teachers are generally described as supportive and dedicated to student success, fostering close connections in the school's intimate environment. However, student surveys and external reports indicate challenges with student behavior, including disruptive conduct and inconsistent discipline, which can affect the school climate. Beyond academics, the school offers a thriving athletics program with basketball, volleyball, and soccer, and a variety of after-school activities like dance, robotics, and gaming, though some desire more diverse extracurricular options.
