* Public Schools: The New York City Department of Education (NYCDOE) oversees hundreds of public schools in Brooklyn, encompassing elementary, middle, and high schools, as well as specialized high schools and alternative schools. Finding a precise number requires searching the NYCDOE database, and that number fluctuates slightly year to year.
* Private Schools: Brooklyn has numerous private schools, ranging from religious schools to independent schools. There's no central, readily accessible database to give a precise count.
* Charter Schools: Brooklyn also has a significant number of charter schools, which are publicly funded but independently operated. Again, a precise number requires searching multiple databases and the number changes.
To get a reasonably accurate number, you'd need to consult the NYCDOE website for public schools and then research private and charter school directories separately. Even then, the total will be an approximation because the numbers aren't static.
