Unity Preparatory Charter School of Brooklyn

Unity Prep Charter School, serving grades 6-12, is a Brooklyn charter school known for its strong college preparatory focus and commitment to social justice. The school emphasizes a rigorous liberal arts and sciences curriculum, aiming to empower students as scholars and citizens. Middle school students demonstrate ELA proficiency well above the citywide median, and the school boasts an exceptionally high graduation rate and college enrollment rate, both significantly exceeding citywide benchmarks. However, Regents pass rates are mixed, with some subjects showing lower performance. Parents and students often describe a supportive community where teachers are caring, build strong relationships, and actively push students to achieve their best. The school also incorporates mindfulness training to help students manage stress. Concerns raised include strict disciplinary rules, a high suspension rate compared to statewide averages, and limited physical space, with no dedicated auditorium or lunchroom. The school operates across two campuses, with the middle school and high school located a few miles apart.
