Multicultural High School

Multicultural High School in Brooklyn is dedicated to supporting English Language Learners (ELLs) in developing English proficiency for college and career success, particularly welcoming newcomers and Spanish-speaking families. The school, which is small with a predominantly Hispanic and ELL student body, boasts an exceptionally high graduation rate of 99%, well above the citywide median. Parents consistently report very positive experiences, highlighting strong teacher support and a positive school environment. Students generally feel safe, and the school offers extended-day and Saturday programs for additional academic and technological support. Distinctive offerings include an Architecture Program Pathway, Advanced Placement courses, and university-level credits. However, the college enrollment rate of 22.7% is significantly below the citywide median, and Regents exam pass rates in core subjects like English, Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II are considerably lower than citywide averages, though Languages Other Than English scores are strong. Student surveys also indicate some concerns regarding bullying, physical fights, and substance use. The school shares the Franklin K. Lane building with other schools.
