More school data



Brooklyn Technical High School, one of the largest and most selective schools in the city, has huge array of course offerings, ranging from video production and genetics to college-level organic chemistry and quantitative analysis. The curriculum emphasizes the practical applications of science, and many of the classes involve hands-on projects. Students may learn techniques of soil sampling in Fort Greene Park as part of an environmental science class or build a two-story house (and take it down again) in a civil engineering class conducted in an enormous two-story woodworking shop. Racially and ethnically diverse, the student body includes many new immigrants and children of immigrants. More than 60 languages are spoken by the students.
