[edit] Location

The campus is located in Brooklyn near the top of a fairly steep hill at the corner of Dexter Court and Jamaica Avenue. The school is named for Franklin K. Lane, Secretary of the Interior during the administration of President Woodrow Wilson.

The county line separating Kings (Brooklyn) and Queens counties divides the school in half, running along Eldert Lane from Atlantic Avenue, through the school and the cemetery behind it.

The boys' large gymnasium is named for 1938 alumnus William "Red" Holzman. The library is named for Sam Levenson, another alumnus. Other famous alumni include Anne Jackson, José Greco, Alfred Kazin, Earle Hyman and Franklin Thomas.
