Legacy Leadership High School

Legacy Leadership High School, serving grades 9-12 in Brooklyn, is a small institution committed to preparing critical thinkers, innovators, and ethical leaders for college, career, and community impact. The school emphasizes rigorous academics alongside hands-on career pathways, including a FutureReady NYC program that provides real-world experience and early college credits, particularly in education. Unique offerings include a Crew Mentoring Program, a hydroponic lab supplying its Culinary Program, and a Digital Photography Program for visual storytelling. Parents consistently express high satisfaction with the school, praising dedicated teachers and a welcoming atmosphere. However, academic outcomes present challenges; the four-year graduation rate of 70% and college enrollment rate of 32.4% are both significantly below citywide medians. Regents pass rates are also generally low. Student survey results indicate concerns regarding safety and bullying within the school environment.
