Westinghouse Evening Hs T/R

No state ELA, math, or science proficiency scores are reported for this school, which is typical of transfer-and-return evening programs where students arrive at varied points and stay for short, credit-recovery stints rather than full academic years. With no year-over-year proficiency data available, there's no meaningful trajectory to read here — the school's academic story is about completion and credit recovery, not state-test ranking. Class size of 21.2 lands exactly at the District 13 average, so students who attend aren't getting the small-class boost they'd find at some peer schools.

The school reported zero suspensions, which is a genuinely clean number — though in a transfer-and-return setting, where enrollment can be fluid and short, that figure reflects the snapshot of students present rather than a year-long discipline program. Without parent satisfaction, teacher-instruction quality, or teacher-reported safety survey results on file, we can't read much into the day-to-day climate from data alone. The evening format itself shapes the feel: smaller cohorts, older students balancing work or family responsibilities, and a more self-directed atmosphere than a typical daytime high school.

The student body data isn't broken out for this school, so we can't speak precisely to who attends. What we know about the surrounding neighborhood tells a striking story: median household income tops $150,000, more than 73% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher, yet only about 15% of households include children — meaning Westinghouse Evening draws students from well beyond its immediate zip code. The transfer-and-return designation means the population skews older and more transient than a typical school, often including teens who left traditional high schools and want to finish their diplomas on their own terms.

Downtown Brooklyn-DUMBO-Boerum Hill is one of the borough's wealthiest and most educated pockets, with a median home value above $1.4 million and renter-heavy blocks where most adults are college graduates. Families with kids make up a relatively small share of households here — about 15% — which is part of why a transfer-and-return evening school fits the area: the daytime family-school population is modest, but plenty of teens travel in from across the borough. The neighborhood is dense, transit-rich, and decidedly urban in character.

Getting here is genuinely easy — Jay St-MetroTech is about a five-minute walk on the R train or the A, C, and F lines, and Borough Hall on the 2 and 3 is roughly six minutes on foot.
