What Parents Should Know

At 170 students, West Brooklyn Community High School 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.

At 8.9:1 students to teachers, West Brooklyn Community High School sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.
