Any school is what you make of it. Work hard, show up every day and stay out of trouble. This school will get you into a good college and your life is then set if you avoid drugs and alcohol.

I attended BTHS from 1965-1969. Absolutely THE BEST education I ever received from any academic institution, and that includes college. A tougher neighborhood back then, still an all male student body, and the two hour commute from Jamaica, Queens to Forte Greene, Brooklyn every school day were obstacles, but in spite of these issues, my decision to test into and stay at Tech until graduation was a great choice!
I've have a new found experience and the school isn't that bad if you find the things you want to do and love. I unfortunately joined an excellent step team but I quit. And the teachers would want every student to reach as high as they could. The teachers I have aren't half bad compared to some other public school teachers. It's easy to gain what you want if you try hard. I must say this school is more challenging then I thought it was at first. I find a lot of other peers are taking advance courses and these courses have a lot of work. Hey if I can do it you can.
I graduated BTHS in 1972. I never worked so hard in my life academically as well as physically. I was on the award winning soccer team for three years. The architecture and building construction curriculum was most challenging and extremely rewarding. The neighborhood was rough in the late sixties and early seventies so commuting from Queens was never boring. There was a foundry on the seventh floor. My building construction classroom was three stories high and had a house built inside. What school can top that? I highly recommend this high school.
Didn't attend school there. However both daughters did. Very good High school. I am grateful for their academic achievements and now they are a Doctor and an Attorney
Great institution of learning. Strict but fair teachers. Class selection was great. This high school will prepare you for college =D.
Went here. Went to a great state school for college. Got a job at an investment bank, started buying real estate. Thank you for setting me up for the future.
In my day we wore a uniform an the challenge was great. However anything good is not easy.
It prepared me for life's differences. Most of all coming from disadvantaged neighborhood is still no excuse to complain. If everyone thought that way Americans wouldn't succeed.
An our forefathers created a standard thou there is not total transparency in government it gives every color creed sexual identity and opportunity to make it. The American Dream!
though I didn't get all I should've gotten out of Tech, my memories are still enjoyable... And, my education was unmatched. ;-) all in all, I am extremely glad to have been a part of BTHS during the 70's, and to have been born and raised in the greatest city in the world- New York, New Yorrrkk!
I'm currently a Junior here-and I'm in the Media Communications major--and I honestly think this is the best school in Brooklyn. The children are soooo nice, the teachers are great (with an exception of 2) and it is so lively. You might I have to put a little bit more work into your homework than other schools, but you learn so much.
I LOVE BROOKLYN TECH! #1 School! :D
