The High School for Global Citizenship

The High School for Global Citizenship offers a college preparatory education for grades 9-12, emphasizing global awareness and career readiness within a personalized learning environment. The school is notably affiliated with the Brooklyn STEAM Center at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, providing students with unique opportunities for hands-on learning, apprenticeships in fields like tech, finance, and business, and industry certifications. Parents consistently report high satisfaction with the school, praising dedicated teachers who are approachable and supportive of both academic and personal growth. Students generally feel safe and that conflicts are resolved fairly. While the school aims for a rigorous curriculum, its four-year graduation rate is near the citywide 25th percentile, and college enrollment is below the 25th percentile. Regents pass rates are mixed, with some subjects showing lower proficiency compared to citywide benchmarks. Some external feedback has raised concerns about school organization, administrative communication, and safety within the shared building, with one parent noting issues with students from other co-located schools. The school also offers opportunities for international travel, enriching the global citizenship aspect of its mission.
