Three years since the close of Brooklyn Comprehensive, our replacement, Brooklyn Bridge Academy has already replaced its founding principal. A major issue was violence. Never once did BCNHS has a violence problem. Oh and Inside Schools notes that "Attendance is always an issue" at the school. So, they added violence and they did nothing to increase attendance.
I hope the new principal can re-direct the school. It will be interesting to see how he handles the attendance issue and the fact that the school's four year graduation rate is 13 percent. Most of our students didn't graduate in four years...and that ended up being a reason to close us. The fact that these kids DID eventually graduate didn't matter.
Good luck. "To the stars despite the difficulties."
