About

Science, Technology and Research (STAR) Early College is a 6-12 grade public school that is located in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn, NY. The school opened its doors in 2003 and currently serves more than 675 students in its middle and high school. In the neighborhood, STAR is known as Brooklyn Best Kept Secretå and the ‰ÛÏCrown Jewel of District 17 because it offers students a bold approach that blends high school and college in a rigorous yet supportive program, compressing the time it takes them to simultaneously earn a high school diploma and up to 73 transferable college credits tuition free from Brooklyn College, CUNY, which is located about a mile away. STAR's mission is to help all our students graduate from high school with at least 30 college credits or complete one full year of college, while preparing them to pursue careers in science, mathematics, technology, and health related professions.
