About
Brooklyn Scholars Charter School serves students from kindergarten through eighth grade, emphasizing both academic excellence and character development through its "Moral Focus™" program. The school demonstrates solid academic performance, with ELA proficiency around the citywide median and math proficiency slightly below, yet it consistently outperforms state averages in both subjects and stands out compared to nearby schools. Its Regents exam pass rates are notably high for a K-8 institution, with 100% proficiency in English Language Arts and Algebra I. Parents frequently commend the school's curriculum and dedicated teachers, reporting significant improvements in their children's education. The school fosters a supportive environment, offering free tutoring and a range of extracurricular activities including sports, student council, and various field trips. While many families express satisfaction, some concerns have been raised regarding staff professionalism and the handling of certain situations. Student survey data also suggests areas for improvement in school cleanliness and perceptions of bullying.
