United Charter High School for Advanced Math and Science lll

Academic performance data is not available for this school, which limits direct comparison to District 22 averages (ELA: 61%, Math: 60%). Without test scores, we cannot assess how students are performing against district peers or state benchmarks. Families considering this school should ask the charter network directly about graduation rates, college matriculation, and any available assessment data.

The survey data tells a compelling story: families rate this school with near-unanimous trust — 96% parent-teacher trust and 93% parent-principal trust are exceptional numbers that signal strong day-to-day relationships between families and staff. Teachers themselves rate instruction quality at 96%, matching that family confidence. However, there's an internal split worth noting: teacher-principal trust sits at 83% and teacher collegial trust at 85% — solid but noticeably lower than the family's trust in leadership. This could reflect typical charter environment pressures or specific leadership decisions that some staff have questions about. With only 27 teacher survey responses, these numbers carry caution flags. The school hasn't provided suspension or discipline data, so we can't evaluate the school's approach to behavior management.

The student body is 73% Black, 12% Hispanic, 8% Asian, 2% white, and 3% Native American — making this a predominantly Black school in a neighborhood that's not predominantly Black (the area's demographics aren't specified, but the neighborhood's median income and homeownership rate of 53% suggest a different demographic profile). With 70.9% economic need and 13% IEP students, this school serves a higher-need population than many District 22 schools. The diversity index of 49% is moderate, reflecting mostly the Black/Hispanic/Asian composition. A majority of families here are working-class — the economic need index tells you that.

Sheepshead Bay-Manhattan Beach-Gerritsen Beach is a water-adjacent corner of Brooklyn with a mixed residential character — single-family homes near the bay, some co-ops, and a quiet, family-oriented feel. The neighborhood scores 59 on safety (moderate), 57 on transit (adequate but car-dependent for most trips), and notably high on family density (69%) and education orientation (72%), meaning families with kids are common here and education is a community priority. The stability score is low (23%), which may reflect turnover or newer residents. Median home values top $721,000, making this an expensive area to buy, though the 13% poverty rate and $80K median income suggest a working- to middle-class community beneath the real estate prices.

This is a car-dependent area — families typically drive or use limited bus routes. The school sits on Avenue X near the waterfront, and parents should expect to coordinate transportation, as walking isn't practical for most families coming from other parts of the district.
