The Williamsburg High School of Art and Technology

The Williamsburg High School of Art and Technology (WHSAT) in Brooklyn is a small, nurturing high school known for its focus on art, technology, and career readiness. The school emphasizes thoughtful instruction, student support, and a four-year sequence in computer science. It operates with a project-based curriculum that fosters creativity, choice, and independence, and offers college-credit bearing courses through partnerships with Medgar Evers College and Long Island University. WHSAT is part of the Career Readiness and Modern Youth Apprenticeship (CRMYA) pilot, providing students with opportunities for paid apprenticeships and internships in tech, finance, and business, including with companies like Google and Major League Baseball. The school boasts a strong 93% graduation rate, which is above the citywide median, and its graduation rate for English language learners also exceeds the citywide average. Parent sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with survey results indicating high satisfaction with the school environment and support. While college enrollment is around the citywide median, Regents pass rates, particularly in Algebra I, are a concern. The school shares facilities in an older building.
