ACHIEVEMENT FIRST LINDEN CHARTER SCHOOL

Achievement First Linden Charter School is an active, single-school independent charter district located at 800 Van Siclen Avenue in Brooklyn, New York. Situated in a vibrant, large-city setting within the New York metropolitan area, the district provides a continuous academic pathway serving 630 students from kindergarten through eighth grade, in addition to specialized ungraded offerings. Functioning as its own local education agency for federal programs, the school is dedicated to delivering a structured, high-quality urban education that prepares young learners throughout their foundational elementary and middle school years.

The school’s vibrant student body represents a diverse community, predominantly comprising Black (449 students) and Hispanic (124 students) learners, alongside American Indian, Asian, White, Pacific Islander, and multiracial peers, with a gender breakdown of 332 female and 298 male students. To foster academic growth and holistic development, the district maintains a robust workforce of 156 full-time equivalent staff members. This strong staffing infrastructure features 58 full-time equivalent classroom teachers—maintaining a low student-to-teacher ratio of roughly eleven to one—complemented by 19 instructional aides and 79 support staff members. This high concentration of instructional and support professionals ensures tailored academic guidance, small-group intervention, and a well-resourced learning environment for Brooklyn families.
