At a Glance
A small Catholic community in East Flatbush serving a predominantly Black student body
Families seeking a small, faith-based Catholic education in East Flatbush or nearby Brooklyn neighborhoods. This school works well for students who thrive in intimate settings with more personal teacher attention, and for families who value Roman Catholic values within a coeducational environment. It's particularly suited for Black families who want their child in a school that reflects their community — though the lack of racial diversity is something to consciously consider if exposure to diverse peer groups is important to you.
- Small enrollment (315 students across grades 9-12) creates an intimate, community feel
- 17.5:1 student-teacher ratio — more individualized attention than larger public or private schools
- Roman Catholic tradition provides faith-based framework and values education
- Predominantly Black student body reflects and serves the local East Flatbush community
- Coeducational setting — boys and girls learn together
- Religious affiliation (Roman Catholic) may not be the right fit for families seeking a secular education
- Student body is not racially diverse — predominantly Black with limited representation of other groups
- Very small white (0.3%) and Asian (0%) enrollment may matter to families looking for different community dynamics
- Tuition costs for private schools are a significant factor — Catholic school tuition is typically thousands per year
- Commute could be challenging if you don't live in or near East Flatbush, given the neighborhood isn't near major transit hubs
A small Catholic coed high school (grades 9-12) with 315 students and a 17.5:1 student-teacher ratio. The school is Roman Catholic in affiliation and serves a geographically specific community in East Flatbush.
The student body is predominantly Black (76.5%), with Hispanic students comprising 9.2%, multiracial/other students at 14%, and very minimal Asian (0%) and white (0.3%) representation. This is a school deeply embedded in the East Flatbush community, which has historically been a Black Caribbean and African American neighborhood.
East Flatbush-Rugby is a residential Brooklyn neighborhood with a family density score of 64/100 — meaning it's a family-oriented area with a solid mix of households. The neighborhood has historically been home to Caribbean-American and African American families, and offers relatively more affordable housing options compared to closer-to-Manhattan Brooklyn neighborhoods. It's well-served by local transit and has its own commercial strips.
East Flatbush is a car-friendly neighborhood where you'll likely drive or take the bus to school. It's not a walkable school neighborhood in the Manhattan or downtown Brooklyn sense — families should factor in commute time, especially if coming from other boroughs.
