Overview
The Brooklyn Latin School is a New York State school listed in the NYSED Data Site under the legal name BROOKLYN LATIN SCHOOL (THE) [1]. The school’s official website uses the shorter name Brooklyn Latin School and describes its educational approach as a specialized, classical education that includes the study of Latin and Greek in a rigorous academic environment [2]. The NYSED profile identifies the principal as Katrina Billy Wilkinson and provides the school’s BEDS code, Institution ID, telephone number, and website [1].
The retrieved sources do not state a grade span, founding date, or admissions process. This profile therefore presents verified operational and data points separately from details that families should confirm directly with the school or the applicable public school authority.
Location and School Identity
The school is commonly identified as Brooklyn Latin School, and its official website is hosted at brooklynlatin.org [2]. NYSED records list the legal name as BROOKLYN LATIN SCHOOL (THE), with BEDS code 331400011449 and Institution ID 800000059612 [1]. The NYSED profile also lists the telephone number (718) 366-0154 and the website https://www.brooklynlatin.org [1]. The school’s name and official web presence indicate Brooklyn, New York; however, the retrieved sources do not include a street address or an explicit statement of district affiliation beyond the NYSED record [1][2].
Readers should distinguish The Brooklyn Latin School from other schools with similar names. The BEDS code and Institution ID are the most reliable identifiers for confirming that a state record refers to this school [1].
Grades and Academic Programs
The official website states that The Brooklyn Latin School provides a specialized, classical education, including the study of Latin and Greek, in a rigorous academic environment [2]. This is a school-specific description from the school itself. The supplied sources do not list the specific grade levels served, course sequences, Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate offerings, or graduation requirements. Families should consult the school’s official website and the NYSED data profile for current program details [1][2].
The website posts resources for current and incoming families, including an Incoming Student/Family FAQ, a Help Directory, Class IV transition family meeting slides, and Class II college preparation information [2]. These labels indicate that the school organizes some family communication by class cohort, but the retrieved sources do not explain the full curriculum structure or the meaning of each class designation.
Enrollment and School Data
The NYSED Data Site profile lists a total enrollment of 772 students [1]. The retrieved excerpt does not specify the academic year or reporting period for that figure, so it should be treated as a state-record enrollment count rather than a current-year statistic. The same NYSED profile identifies the school’s support model as Local Support and Improvement and includes a section for a four-year graduation rate, but the retrieved excerpt does not provide the graduation rate value [1].
The school’s official website displays several self-reported figures: ‘745+ Students,’ a ‘97% Graduation Rate,’ and ’43 Extracurricular Offerings’ [2]. These figures appear on the school’s website without a stated reporting year in the retrieved excerpt. They are not the same as NYSED’s enrollment count and should be interpreted as school-published information, not as independently verified state data. Where state and school figures differ, readers should note the source and date before drawing conclusions.
NYSED data can include enrollment, school climate, graduation rate, and other indicators. Missing or suppressed values are common in public data when counts are small or when reporting rules require confidentiality. The absence of a value in the retrieved excerpt does not mean the value is zero [1].
Understanding the Identifiers and Support Model
The BEDS code is a unique identifier used by the New York State Education Department for schools and districts [1]. The Institution ID is another numeric identifier used in the NYSED Data Site to distinguish school records [1]. ‘Local Support and Improvement’ is a support model identified in the NYSED profile; the retrieved source does not explain the specific criteria or consequences of that designation for this school [1]. Readers who want to understand the designation should consult NYSED’s accountability documentation.
Admissions and Enrollment
The supplied sources do not describe The Brooklyn Latin School’s application process, eligibility rules, deadlines, or whether admission is selective, zoned, or open to applicants from a particular area [1][2]. The official website includes an Incoming Student/Family FAQ and open house recordings, which are appropriate starting points for prospective families [2]. Because admissions rules can change, readers should verify current requirements directly with the school and the relevant public school admissions office rather than relying on general assumptions about location or school name [1][2].
Attending a school in a given borough or having a Brooklyn address does not, by itself, establish eligibility for a specific public school. The retrieved sources do not establish an attendance boundary for The Brooklyn Latin School [1][2].
Student Services and Family Information
The official website links to an Incoming Student/Family FAQ and a Help Directory, which are intended to help families find the right contact for procedures and questions [2]. It also posts PSAL information for 2026, including a letter about required PSAL forms [2]. PSAL refers to the Public Schools Athletic League, a New York City public school athletics organization; the retrieved source confirms that the school posts PSAL-related forms but does not list specific sports or teams [2].
The website also references the NYSED Parent Dashboard and notes that parents and stakeholders are invited to provide feedback through an online survey available in 17 languages [2]. That language-access detail applies to the NYSED survey as described on the school’s website; the retrieved sources do not describe the school’s own translation or accessibility services [2].
Virtual open house recordings are posted for 2024, 2025, and 2026, according to the website’s announcements [2]. These recordings may be useful for families who cannot attend in person, but they are not a substitute for confirming current admissions and program details with the school [2].
History and Community Context
The supplied sources do not provide a founding date, historical timeline, or verified community history for The Brooklyn Latin School [1][2]. The school’s website includes announcements and family resources, but the retrieved excerpts do not establish historical milestones. This profile therefore omits a history section rather than speculate.
How to Verify Current Information
For official school information, readers should consult The Brooklyn Latin School’s website at https://www.brooklynlatin.org/ [2]. For state records, the NYSED Data Site profile for BROOKLYN LATIN SCHOOL is available at https://data.nysed.gov/profile.php?instid=800000059612 [1]. The NYSED profile lists the BEDS code 331400011449 and Institution ID 800000059612, which can help confirm that a record refers to this school [1].
Because admissions, grade span, leadership, and program details can change, families should confirm time-sensitive information directly with the school and the applicable public school admissions authority. When using enrollment or performance data, check the reporting year and whether the figure comes from a state data system or from the school’s own website [1][2].
