District 18 Schools
Families here navigate mostly zoned public schools alongside a quarter of the schools being charters—a setup common in southeastern Brooklyn. The academic numbers sit comfortably in the middle for the borough, with strong attendance hovering in the low-90s. ELL support is widely available, and World Languages or AP courses show up at a decent slice of schools. STEM and arts programs are more limited. The middle school landscape offers more variety, though high school options often point toward SHSAT prep or audition routes.
