Walt Whitman has a long history of serving the East Flatbush community. Built in 1938, the school is one of the oldest middle schools in Brooklyn. Over the years, it has seen countless scholars pass through its halls and move on to become successful and productive individuals in the community and the world.
Currently, the student population is small (around 320 scholars) and diverse. We have a sizable population of Spanish-speaking scholars, Haitian-Creole-speaking scholars, and Arabic-speaking scholars.
Families in the community of entrusted us with their children time and time and again and we pride ourselves in providing a safe school with that helps scholars reach their full potential over the course of their 3 years in the building.
