A new charter school was approved for Park Slope on Monday. The Brooklyn Prospect Charter School will open in 2009 with a sixth grade and will add classes until it reaches 12th grade by 2015. The school will accept students (via lottery) that live in Park Slope, Gowanus, Sunset Park, Red Hook, Windsor Terrace, Cobble Hill and parts of Downtown Brooklyn. There’s more info at the school’s website. Best View in Brooklyn also offers a rundown on the school worth checking out.
