Info
Scholars' Academy is a uniformed preparatory school consisting of a middle school (grades 6-8) and a high school (grades 9-12) for gifted and talented children located in Rockaway Park.
From a pilot program, Scholars' Academy has evolved into a co-ed grade 6-12 middle/high school. There are eight classes in each grade of the middle school with a student-to-teacher ratio of 34:1. Students take the Living Environment and Integrated Algebra Regents in 8th grade, and 7th graders take the 8th grade Standardized Science Exam. The high school has four classes in each grade, with an average 30:1 student-to-teacher ratio. After the 11th grade, students typically only take 1-2 more regents exams as in the 11th and 12th grade, between 1/2 and 3/4 of students' classes are Advanced Placement or Dual Enrollment classes (dual enrollment provided by St. Francis College).
Admission to Scholars' Academy involves filling out an application by the prospective student and their family to be sent to Scholars' by their guidance counselor. Applicants either get an early acceptance or offered an interview. After being accepted into the school, students must maintain an 85% or higher cumulative average.
