Brooklyn Technical High School

Brooklyn Technical High School, commonly called Brooklyn Tech and administratively designated High School 430, is an elite New York City public magnet, high school that specializes in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

Admission to Brooklyn Tech involves passing the Specialized High Schools Admissions Test. Each November, about 30,000 eighth and ninth graders take the 3-hour test for admittance to eight of the nine specialized high schools. About 1,900 to 1,950 students are admitted each year.

Brooklyn Tech counts top scientists, inventors, innovators, Fortune 500 company CEOs and founders, high-ranking diplomats, academic scholars, literary and media figures, professional athletes, National Medal recipients, Nobel laureates, and Olympic medalists among its alumni.

Brooklyn Tech is one of the most elite, prestigious and selective high schools in the United States. Together with Stuyvesant High School and Bronx High School of Science, it is one of the three original Specialized High Schools of New York City, operated by the New York City Department of Education, all three of which The Washington Post cited in 2006 as among the country's best magnet schools (a category the school is often placed in, though its founding predates the concept of a "magnet school", whose intended purpose was not the same). Admission is by competitive examination. As a public school, BTHS has no tuition fee, but only students who reside in New York City are allowed to attend, as per the Hecht-Calandra Act.

Brooklyn Technical High School is ranked seventh within New York. Students have the opportunity to take Advanced Placement® coursework and exams. The AP® participation rate at Brooklyn Technical High School is 98%. The total minority enrollment is 77%, and 62% of students are economically disadvantaged. Brooklyn Technical High School is 1 of 548 high schools in the New York City Public Schools.
