Statistics
Our review
Hyde Leadership Charter School – Brooklyn opened in September 2010. It is the second school in New York City affiliated with the Hyde Foundation, which also has schools in Connecticut and Washington, D.C., modeled after the Hyde School, a private boarding school in Maine. Hyde-Brooklyn opened with 132 students in kindergarten and first grade and will expand by one grade per year until it reaches its target capacity serving students in grades kindergarten to 5.
The school's executive director Dr. Sandra Dupree has 15 years of experience in Washington, D.C. and New York City Public Schools as a teacher, principal, professor of education and consultant, according to the school's website.
Like its sister school in the Bronx, Hyde Leadership Charter School, Hyde-Brooklyn offers students a traditional education that places a huge emphasis on character development and fostering parent involvement. Parents are asked to volunteer on field trips, in the classrooms, school office, and library. In addition, Hyde Leadership requires parents to attend monthly meetings, guided by a book entitled, The Biggest Job We'll Ever Have: The Hyde School Program for Character-based Parenting, by Malcolm Gauld, the founder of the first Hyde School.
Located in East New York, the school is housed in PS/IS 328 Phyllis Wheatley School.
Admissions: By lottery. Preference is given to children in District 19. Check the school’s website for more information. (September 2010, information compiled from school's website)
