The Science And Medicine Middle School

The Science and Medicine Middle School (18K366) serves grades 6-8 in Brooklyn, offering a curriculum designed to prepare students for high school, college, and careers with a focus on medical science. The school features a dedicated medical science teaching lab equipped with hospital-grade beds and equipment, and provides opportunities for students to visit various CUNY and SUNY schools, as well as Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Eighth graders can also take the Living Environment Regents exams. Academically, the school's ELA proficiency (47%) is above the citywide 25th percentile but below the median, while math proficiency (41%) is near the 25th percentile. The school is recognized for its "Excellent" relationships with families, with parent surveys showing overwhelmingly positive feedback on various aspects of the school environment. However, its "Instruction and Performance" and "Safety and School Climate" ratings are "Fair." Student survey results indicate that a notable portion of students do not always feel safe in hallways or believe conflicts are resolved fairly, and bullying is a concern.
