History
Brooklyn College Academy, founded in 1986 in a partnership between the then Board of Education and Brooklyn College, served as an alternative school—a program which was created to help older high school students that have not done well in other settings. The school no longer serves this purpose and is a normal high school in the school system. Almost all of the school's graduates go on to attend college, two-year or four-year institutions. Recent graduates from the class of 2011 have gone on to attend schools such as Spelman College, Fordham, Penn State, New York University, Columbia, Trinity, Vanderbilt, Vassar, Franklin and Marshall and many SUNY and CUNY schools. The current principal of Brooklyn College Academy is Niccolas Mazzarella, who began his career at Hostos-Lincoln High School in the Bronx and came to Brooklyn College Academy in 2005
