The Leon M. Goldstein High School for the Sciences at Kingsborough Community College, CUNY, formerly Kingsborough High School for the Sciences at Kingsborough Community College, CUNY from 1993 to 1999 is a four-year high school (grades 9-12), located in Manhattan Beach, Brooklyn, New York. Leon M. Goldstein High School is screened-admission public school under the administration of the New York City Department of Education.
LMGHS was opened in September 1993 by Mayor David Dinkins and Leon M. Goldstein, who fostered the idea for the school and was President of Kingsborough Community College, CUNY for 28 years; the high school was later renamed in Goldstein's honor. LMG is located on the northern part of the campus of Kingsborough Community College of the City University of New York; it overlooks Sheepshead Bay, Jamaica Bay, Rockaway Inlet, and the Atlantic Ocean. The high school's first class graduated in June 1997. The school is housed in a building designed for LMG, built by the NYC Department of Education, and opened in September 2002.
Goldstein has collaborative partnerships with Kingsborough Community College, and is able to use many of its facilities, i.e., the theaters in the Performing Arts Center (PAC) and Marine Arts Center (MAC), the college library, the KCC Art Gallery, the gymnasium, the waterfront, etc. Leon M. Goldstein HS offers College Now and the Bridge Program as a result of the partnership with KCC; these programs allow high school students to take college courses and earn college credits from CUNY.


LMGHS was rated one of the best public high schools in New York City by New York Magazine and #191 out of over 1600 high schools nationwide by Newsweek Magazine. A combination of State exam scores and other factors is used to select students.
