I am a teacher at Transit Tech. The information that I see on this page is quite dated. Our statistics have increased across the board. Low enrollment is a city-wide problem, not just at Transit. Low enrollment is due to gentrification, increase in charter schools and ICE. I am glad that the school has not shut down but more excited by the fact that some unproductive staff members have moved on (what a blessing). I am proud to see our recent graduates (16 to be exact) obtain employment at the MTA after successfully completing their apprenticeship program. I am also glad to see that our students are matriculating at Tier one colleges and universities, such as New York University School of Tandon School of Engineering, Penn State, etc., as opposed to SUNY and CUNY schools. In addition, one or our students gained acceptance into military academies, such as United States Military Academy at West Point. These achievements actually took place within the past two years so go figure. It is also a good thing that our goal is to promote careers in STEM and is not designed to just gear students to work at MTA although it is a wonderful opportunity. Change is not an event, it is a process. WE also have an amazing college and career office to support all students in achieving their goals subsequent to graduating, including our special education population, who have also obtained employment at the MTA. Let's keep up the good work at Transit! Please visit us at www.transittechhs.org.

This school is very unprofessional and Unsafe, Teachers threaten to abuse there power saying if my child dosent listen to the teacher 1 day then she’ll Lower the grade to 50 No matter if they done all there work or got 100’s. They’re over here giving my child detention just for speaking while there’s other kids Selling drugs, Gang activity & more, And they don’t do nothing. Worst school in Brooklyn NY..

My son was bullied with bruises school ignored it. My other son had classwork homework that was too over the top esp for a 7 year old they didnt provide help. Staff was rude and unprofessional.
