What Parents Should Know

At 127 students, School of the Future Brooklyn is on the smaller side. That usually buys more individual attention and teachers who know every kid by name, with the trade-off of fewer electives and extracurriculars than a larger school can staff. Ask what activities it actually offers.

Test scores at School of the Future Brooklyn sit below average, but its growth scores are strong: students here make above-average progress year over year. The raw numbers haven't caught up, but a school that keeps moving kids forward is doing the harder, more important work.

58% of students at School of the Future Brooklyn were chronically absent in the 2022-23 school year, above the national average.
