As the parent of a Senior, I am more and more impressed with the school all the time. The Visual Art show is phenomenal and the talent across the 5 different Studios shows the dedication and talent of the teachers. The school is big enough for the kids to find friends and interests whether in sports
BHSA was in my top five High School choices. I remember it went like this for me: #1. LaGuardia (Auditioned, Wait-Listed, Deferred, Rejected) #2. Edward R. Murrow (Second top choice, Auditioned, Accepted, Enrolled) #3. Brooklyn High School Of The Arts (Top third choice, Auditioned, Accepted, chose
Brooklyn High School of the Arts has a lot of potential, with students who are passionate and eager to learn. However, there seems to be favoritism between the majors, with funding disparities that affect student experiences. For example, the visual arts major often lacks essential supplies provided
all the teachers are very lovely, and the musical theater students are the highlight of the school. They are talented and are the best of their community, and always put on a great show.
I went to this school when it was called SARAH J HALE HS. I miss the memories and friends I've made and still keep in touch with. Loved my teachers. Just wish they've done this back in my day. Graduate of 93. School looks the same.
