The community is zoned to New York City Department of Education. Many students in the area attend P.S.298, a K-5 school that has been recognized by President Obama’s Race To The Top initiative for academic excellence and innovation; the majority of students attending P.S. 298 matriculate from middle through high schools in either James Madison or Midwood High Schools, both of which are renowned for their engineering programs and strong extracurricular arts programs including music and theater performance. In addition, Prospect Lefferts Gardens is perhaps best known as being home to Brooklyn College, an urban campus boasting strong liberal arts departments and a world-class art museum with murals by Chaim Gross and Josef Albers.
Prospect Lefferts Gardens is one of the most desirable Brooklyn neighborhoods for families, with relatively low crime rates and great educational resources at both the K-5 through high school levels.
