Currently our school is fully enrolled. If you are interested in placing your student on the waitlist for the current year, please send an email with the student's name, date of birth, address, parent or guardian's name, phone and email to admissions@brooklynprospect.org You may also hand deliver or mail directly to the school.

Additional lottery details will be added here as the April, 2010 date approaches.

Please be aware of the following:

Brooklyn Prospect is located in Brooklyn's Community School District 15

Based on legislation passed in 2007*, all New York City charter schools must give preference to students residing in the Community School District (CSD) in which the charter school is located. However, students who reside outside of our CSD are eligible to apply and may be admitted if space permits

Confirmation of middle school district is based on proof of the student's residency in the district, not the elementary school district the student attends. To check Community School District (CSD) please enter your home address at this website: http://gis.nyc.gov/dcp/at/f1.jsp

We are only accepting applications for students who will enter the 6th or 7th grades in the fall of 2010. The majority of our openings will be in 6th grade.

Because we are a charter school signing your student up for Brooklyn Prospect's lottery will not affect the NYC Department of Education middle school process.

In our lottery we exercise a sibling preference for families with more than one student living in a household. This is implemented for the applicant sibling of current Brooklyn Prospect students and brothers and sisters of Brooklyn Prospect admitted students. If a student in a family is admitted through the lottery, than the brother or sister applicant is automatically admitted as well. If you have two or more students in your household applying please fill in the bottom five (5) fields on the lottery application. If you are currently a Brooklyn Prospect family please contact your son or daughter's advisor and send an email, no later than March 30, 2010, to admissions@brooklynprospect.org informing us that you would like to enroll a sibling.

If your son or daughter has an IEP, Brooklyn Prospect will work with the student’s Committee on Special Education to accommodate all children and their individual learning needs.

Services are available to support children who are English Language Learners.

During the fall and winter preceeding our April lottery drawing, Brooklyn Prospect will hold several in-house information sessions for interested students and their families . Please check our website to register for those sessions.
