A grades 6-12 program in East Flatbush-Erasmus that keeps students in one building from pre-teen years through senior year
Best suited for
Families in or near East Flatbush-Erasmus who want a single-school option covering both middle and high school years and who are willing to ask the school directly for current academic and climate data before enrolling.
What stands out
- Serves grades 6 through 12 in a single building — an unusually wide range that lets students stay in place from pre-teen years through senior year.
- Class size of 22 sits right at the district average, so students experience neither unusually small cohorts nor overcrowded rooms.
- Sits in a transit-friendly stretch of East Flatbush-Erasmus, with three different 2/5 line stops within a 13-minute walk.
Things to consider
- Academic outcome data was not provided, so families should request current proficiency results and progress reports directly from the school before deciding.
- The 6-12 grade span means younger adolescents and high schoolers share a building — worth asking how the school separates and supports such different age groups.
- Attendance, suspension, and parent satisfaction data are also missing from the source, so the day-to-day climate can't be assessed from this snapshot.
- Neighborhood poverty sits at 15.8%, meaning economic circumstances around the school are mixed — relevant context for any family weighing the commute or after-school logistics.
Based on 2023-24 data
School SummaryDistrict 17
This school is in District 17, where the peer schools listed in the data — several Success Academy charters, P.S. 249, the Erasmus early college high school, and P.S. 316 — include some of the city's stronger-rated options. Without a comparable overall score for ALC - M.S. 246 in the source data, it can't be ranked against those peers here.
Academics
State proficiency data was not provided for this school, so academic outcomes cannot be compared against the district averages of roughly 60.5% ELA and 57.3% math. Without year-over-year results, the academic trajectory also cannot be assessed from this snapshot.
Culture
No attendance, suspension, parent satisfaction, or teacher survey data was provided, so the day-to-day feel of the school — how teachers experience leadership, whether families feel heard, how discipline is handled — can't be characterized from the source information.
Community
Student-level demographic data wasn't provided, so the makeup of the school body itself can't be described directly. The surrounding East Flatbush-Erasmus neighborhood has a median household income of $71,675, a 15.8% poverty rate, and a 33.1% rate of residents with a bachelor's degree or higher — a middle-income, mostly-renter community. About 12.7% of neighborhood households have children.
