Ebbets Field Middle School

Ebbets Field Middle School, located in Brooklyn, serves students in grades 6 through 8 within a vibrant and diverse urban neighborhood. The school occupies the historically significant site of the former Brooklyn Dodgers' Ebbets Field, a place associated with Jackie Robinson's legacy of perseverance. It is a smaller school, which contributes to a close-knit community feel. Academically, students demonstrate strong performance, with English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates well above the citywide median for middle schools. The school is recognized for its excellent instruction and strong relationships with families, reflected in overwhelmingly positive parent survey responses. Parents often describe a supportive environment with caring teachers and a variety of clubs and activities. However, student surveys indicate some areas for improvement regarding school cleanliness and the frequency of bullying or physical altercations among students. The school emphasizes resilience, student voice, and strong family connections, and offers core classes, advisory, arts, and support blocks.
