This school lack proper teaching to prepare kids for the next grade. The kids are bullies and the teachers have favoritism towards the children. All the African American students face discrimination and it’s known in the community not to attend this school. My child would come home with scratches on her face and they broke her favorite water bottle then lied about it but refused camera footage. The kinder teacher was extremely mean and Im still furious about the situation. They cater to white families and the school has low percentage of diversity.

The school is diverse and the administration encourages collaboration between families and staff. My children were in the dual language program from Kindergarten to 8th grade and graduated being bilingual. Parents need to also do the work and encourage their children to speak Spanish outside of school. There is a thriving Nest program for children on the autism spectrum. The Principal makes decisions based on student needs. Your child will be safe, love school and flourish at PS84!

Brooklyn Preparatory High School is a small school in Williamsburg, with a lot to offer. As a sophomore in this school I can confidently say that this school is full of opportunities, caring staff, and strong school culture. When applying to high schools I had originally put this school towards the bottom, as I was skeptical of some aspects and was not sure if I was ready to accept this school offer. Regardless, as soon as I entered this school, freshman year, I was almost overwhelmed with opportunities – ranging from paid internships, inclusivity clubs, countless AP and dual enrollment courses, paid opportunities in the school, leadership roles, and many sports. Not only did these chances make me fall in love with my school but the staff as well. Each teacher has a genuine passion for teaching and they all truly care for each student. I feel safe and open in all my classes and the community in this school is like no other. This school is full of genuine people too, I have quickly made friends with students of all races, ages, and backgrounds. I am personally very passionate about college and pursuing a career after school, and that is one reason why I am so happy to end up at this school. The college prep that this school offers is unmatched, and so supportive. Each staff member encourages every individual student and pushes them to work harder, do better and be stronger. It is hard to grasp and put into words all this school has to offer but in my personal opinion it is like no other, and no matter who you are I can guarantee there is something here for you.
