G. Westinghouse Evening H.S.

Standardized test proficiency data is not provided for this school, which is common for evening high schools where standardized participation and reporting can differ from traditional campuses. With an average class size of about 21 students, class sizes here match the District 13 average exactly, so students aren't getting a smaller or larger group than peers across the district. Because academic outcome data isn't available in this snapshot, families should ask the school directly about credit recovery rates, Regents pass rates, and graduation outcomes to get a real picture.

The standout climate signal here is discipline: zero suspensions recorded. Given the district average suspension rate of roughly 1.4%, that's a meaningful number. Evening schools tend to draw older students and those who've already navigated traditional school environments, which often translates into calmer, more self-directed classrooms — and the discipline data here is consistent with that. However, no survey data on parent satisfaction, teacher-reported safety, or instructional quality is available, so the picture is incomplete. Families should visit in the evening to feel the tone for themselves.

Student demographic data for the school itself is not provided, but the surrounding neighborhood tells a clear story: Downtown Brooklyn-DUMBO-Boerum Hill has a median household income above $150,000, a 73.3% bachelor's-or-higher rate, and a poverty rate of about 15.5%. Evening high schools typically draw students from a much wider geography than their zip code, often pulling in working teens and adult learners from across Brooklyn.

The school sits in Downtown Brooklyn-DUMBO-Boerum Hill, one of Brooklyn's wealthiest and most educated enclaves, where over 73% of adults hold a bachelor's degree and the median home value exceeds $1.4 million. Despite that affluence, only about 15% of households include children, and homeownership is around 26%, reflecting a neighborhood of mostly renters — many of them young professionals. The area is dense, commercial, and walkable, more downtown than residential.

Families and students can reach the school via the Jay St-MetroTech station on the R train (about a 5-minute walk), the Jay St-MetroTech station on the A, C, and F lines (about a 5-minute walk), or Borough Hall on the 2 and 3 trains (about a 6-minute walk) — a genuinely transit-rich location.
