Victory Collegiate High School

Victory Collegiate High School in Brooklyn is a high school known for its strong emphasis on career readiness, particularly through its participation in the Career Readiness and Modern Youth Apprenticeship (CRMYA) pilot program. This initiative provides students with opportunities for career exploration and paid apprenticeships in fields such as technology, finance, and business. The school boasts a solid four-year graduation rate of 91.0%, which is slightly above the citywide median. Students also demonstrate strong performance in English and History Regents exams. However, college enrollment at 46.2% is a concern, falling below the citywide 25th percentile, and pass rates for Math and some Science Regents are lower. The school offers advanced academic opportunities, including the AP Capstone Diploma Program, College Now, and Syracuse University Project Advance. Parents and students generally describe teachers as caring and supportive, providing engaging lessons. While students largely report feeling safe in hallways and that conflicts are resolved fairly, some concerns exist regarding bullying and other negative behaviors. The school maintains a uniform policy and utilizes metal detectors.
