    The students of Brooklyn Tech all had this initial thought, "I hate Tech". Whether it was because…read moreof the teachers, elevators, schedules, or staff, while you attended Brooklyn Tech, you found some reason to dislike like the school. You have teachers constantly pushing you to do your best. There is no excuse for late homework or late assignments. Administrators will not take your if, ands, or buts. Sometimes you will have class in the basement then, the next period, gym on the 8th floor. The elevators will be packed, you will have to climb 9 flights of stairs. With the mind set of a high school student, you sometimes might feel unfairly retreated or wronged by deans or Brooklyn Tech staff. Trust me, as time goes on, you will realize, it's nothing personal. The school will seem like a human oven in the summer and winter. All of these elements may make you think that Brooklyn Tech isn't the school for you, or that you wouldn't want your child attending this institution. However, from the viewpoint of a Brooklyn Tech alumni, this school has sculpted me to the person I am today. You have educators who want to do more than make a semi decent salary. Teachers who want to help you succeed. I have gained more than just education within the sciences and engineering, I have gained pure knowledge. Knowledge that will carry with me where ever I go. Knowledge that is engraved in me, which makes me a better person, which gives me that advantage in the real world. As for the student body, it is an experience that you will never be able to encounter for the rest of your life. Attending Brooklyn Tech, you learn more about culture by your peers, than any course you can take in a higher education class. Not everyone who attends Brooklyn Tech has the same Ivy League ambition. You will meet some of the most brilliant pranksters, some of the most innovative individuals, and some of the most creative students. You will meet real people. You will find your own group of friends who will better define who you are as a person. I have met so many great and amazing people through my time at Brooklyn Tech. With that note, I have also met some who I would wish never to see again. There will always be something negative to say about any high school you attend. Your life is what you make it. The decisions you make will either make that path easier or harder. Brooklyn Tech is definitely one of those decisions in your life where you might think you've taken on a challenge that is more than you can chew. Trust me, this experience is worth it. It may not be easy, it may not be pretty, but you will leave carrying the pride of being a Brooklyn Tech Alumni.

    Terrible experience, rude staff, deteriorating facilities, I hated every single day I spent here…read more People here are extremely close minded and ego driven, the hallways reek of industrial rot during the winter, the teachers push a woke agenda forcing students to read literature involving queer characters under the guise of being "anti-censorship". Would give a 0/5 if I could

    As a parent of a recent graduate I only have good things to say about the school. My son entered…read morethe school as a shy 14 year old boy and graduated this past June as a proud and confident 'Xaverian Man'. For him the school was a place where he felt safe, was challenged academically and had the type of "Brotherhood" from both the teachers and fellow students that he never had as an only child. I am sure there were some minor childhood shenanigans going on that administrators may have turned a blind eye to at times. That is part of the growing process and after all it is an all boys school. However, when there were isolated incidents that were more than just childhood pranks, the administrators took swift action to correct the situation. I attended all of the Parent/Teacher meetings and can honestly say that his teachers all showed me that they cared about my son's academic and social progress as well as his over all high school experience. There was never a time where I left those meetings feeling anything less than optimistic about his progress even when he was not working at his best. Yes, the tuition is higher than at other comparable Catholic private high schools in Brooklyn but they do not nickel and dime families with all those mandatory fund raisers other schools often do which cuts the gap some and they do offer financial assistance to those families who truly need it. In the end we are pleased about the education and values that he gained from his four years there and would recommend the school to any family who is thinking of sending their son there.

    This is a Wonderful school. It has great academics and athletic programs and incredible community.read more

    I survived 4 years in this place!?!?! You've got to be kidding me!…read more The year after I graduated, Sheepshead Bay High School was voted as the 6th most dangerous public school in all of New York City! The average daily occupancy for this school is approximately 2,800 to 3,000. This is assuming that no one skips on classes (which is highly unlikely). In the original planning of the school, the occupancy was meant for approximately 1,000. This is a classic case of maximizing absolutely surplus value (socialist term) amongst inner city schools. Here are my thoughts on my 4 year tenure at this education facility... Teachers: The faculty is highly trained and dedicated in educating and motivating the student consensus. Amongst the various subjects studied throughout Sheepshead (ie: European History, English, Law, Math, etc...), each of the teachers were stringent in the teaching of their subjects. I will take this moment to thank my former teachers, Mr. Trant, Mrs. Newman, Ms. Johnson, Ms. Kovat, Dr. Starr, Ms. Mathews, and many others that instilled in me the desire and importance of achievement in the classroom which ultimately translated to achievement in life. It is a rare breed to find teachers that will go above and beyond the call of their duties to educate and help their students understand the elements that make them successful. For this, the teachers of Sheepshead Bay High School are not to be taken lightly, but rather, Thanked for their courage and dedication. Students: The demographic of the student consensus is greatly diversified, thus representing the population that resides amongst the Sheepshead Bay community. Most students that attend Sheepshead are there not by choice, but rather by zoning mandates. The average tenure of a graduating student at Sheepshead is approximately 4.5 to 5 years. Facility: There's no denying that Sheepshead Bay High School is an extremely old facility. Although some renovations have occurred in such classrooms as the Mock Trail Court Room and Computer Labs, the general education classrooms still lack the updating that's long overdue. With increasing temperature indexes during the summer, air conditioning devices need to be installed in every class room. Environment: During my senior year, fights occurred on average of 5 times a school week. The fights are generally caused by deficiently performing students in a means of either gaining "respect" or attention. The students who are there to educate and better themselves generally avoid conflict situations. Overall the main deterrence in Sheepshead Bay High School's ability to ascend to the upper echelon of high schools in New York City is the inability of the student body to accept that humility, understanding, motivation, dedication, and goals are the five essential elements required to succeed. Until the student consensus has a drastic change in mentality from that of oppression to opportunity, the rigorous negative publicity of this education facility will continue. Despite the exceptional performance of the faculty in attempting to help students achieve, it is ultimate the student that needs to accept and be willing to succeed.

    Worst years in my entire life. As an immigrant and minority, I went to school with fear everyday…read more It is great that the school was shut for good.
