I am a BCA freshman and I have to say that this school is great. I admit, that when I first joined the shcool I was mad that I had to follow strict rules and, that the building itself was so small. But now that I think about it, this school feels like a second home to me, it's small but that just proves how much more help you'll get here. Also, there are many great oppertunities at BCA that I know other schools wont give me, so I guess in simple words, BCA is the best!

I think taht the teacher and Administrative staff should spend more time with the kids that are struggling. More help is need. The sfaff is spending too much time with the A students only.

Not my daughters 1st choice in HS picks but she is in the 10th grade there and wouldn't have it any other way........She is thrilled to be a student there and I love that they always keep me as a parent who does not have so much time to participate informed.

I am a parent here, my daughter is in 10th grade and this is her last year at the annex. I found BCA to be the best place for my daughter and a very good school. The teachers are very attentive and caring. While children may be interested in sports etc. as a parent, I am interested in safety, family and community oriented and a balance curriculum. BCA has met my expectation and my daughter is very happy there. Marie Thomas Marie Thomas

I'm a 9th grader in this school. BCA is a great school. The teachers take care of you and look out for you when the students are in trouble. The admistration is excellent. Dress code is strict but most of the students don't mind because the students are allowed to modify it. I really like BCA. The halls are sometimes crowded and the bilding itself is a little small, but other than that, BCA is a really great school and it's the #2 high school in Brooklyn after Brooklyn Tech. I believe that students should really take the time to apply to this school. BCA ROCKS!

im a 8th grader attending this school and i have to tell you people the truth about it. Many parents want there kids to stay here because of the college credits that you gain. The 11th and 12th graders attend school on brooklyn college campus. and because of the uniform dress code. Which are all good point but they're many negative points to. For example the schools doesn't have any extracurricular activites. The 7th and 8th graders dont get to go to many of the dances that rarley occur. The gym is extremely small. The school itself is getting to be over crowded. Many kids arent happy with this school, so before you make your child attend it please be aware that they might not be all happy with it.
