Sunset School of Cultural Learning

Rates 9.0/10 despite 86% of students being economically disadvantaged. That's about 2.7 points higher than its student-poverty level predicts. Roughly as clean a case of strong results without an affluent-ZIP price tag as you'll find among Brooklyn schools.

Most improved · 2022 → 2024
Brownsville Collegiate Charter School

STAAR proficiency rose +70.3 points from 2022 to 2024. That's the biggest jump among Brooklyn schools across the two most recent comparable testing years.

Education Snapshot

Brooklyn, New York

Brooklyn's school landscape spans 764 schools across 102 districts, enrolling approximately 345,190 students — one of the largest urban education markets in the country. The level mix skews elementary-heavy, with 398 elementary schools compared to 175 high schools and 105 middle schools, reflecting the borough's dense family population. Charter schools account for 89 of those options, giving families a meaningful alternative sector to weigh. Among 743 scored schools, the average MySchoolScout composite rating is 6.2/10, matching the New York state average exactly — Brooklyn neither outperforms nor underperforms the statewide benchmark. The borough's median household income of $85,740 runs 9% below the state median of $93,975, a gap that correlates with resource distribution across its wide district footprint. At 42% of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher, Brooklyn's educational attainment sits well above most peer urban boroughs, signaling a parent population that actively engages with school selection.

102 districts draw attendance lines through Brooklyn

Brooklyn is not one school system. 102 districts cut across the city limits, and the largest still holds only 9% of the public campuses.

New York City Geographic District #19 is the largest slice at 52 of 570 public schools — not a majority. Choosing a Brooklyn address is choosing a district first.

Among 548 public schools with real test data, composite scores run from 1.7 to 9.3 — the spread is inside Brooklyn, not a citywide average.

89 of the 570 public schools are charters (16%), so the district split is not the whole market.

About Schools in Brooklyn, New York

Brooklyn runs 570 ranked public schools — one of the largest single-borough systems in the country. The average score sits at 6.0 out of 10, reflecting a wide spread across performance levels. Exactly 185 schools, or 32%, score 7 or higher. That means roughly one in three schools clears that bar, giving parents real choices while making the search work matter.

At the top, Collegiate Academy–Math–Personal AWA earns a 9.8 — the highest score in the borough. Brooklyn Emerging Leaders Academy Charter School follows at 9.7, and Brooklyn Prospect Charter School (CSD 15) scores 9.6. The elementary tier peaks with Maurice Sendak Community School at 9.3. For high school, Urban Assembly Institute of Math and Science for Young Women earns a 9.2. These top performers span charter, district, and specialized program formats — no single pathway defines high performance here.

Charters dominate the elite tier. Four of the five highest-rated schools are charter or specialized academies, most requiring a lottery or application. The spread across grade levels is meaningful: standouts exist at elementary, middle, and high school stages, but they're not clustered geographically. Brooklyn's scale — more than 70 distinct neighborhoods — means a 9.8-rated school may sit well outside your zone. Travel time is a real variable that scores alone won't resolve.

For parents actively searching: the 32% rate of 7-plus schools means viable options exist across most of the borough. Start with the top-rated schools in your child's grade band, confirm enrollment type (lottery, zoned, or screened), and map the commute from your address. The gap between the 9.8 ceiling and the 6.0 borough average is real and significant. In Brooklyn, looking past the nearest school almost always pays off.
