My name is Marlon, and I graduated from Henry Snyder High School back in 1994, in the school was terrible back then never mind the fact that it was pretty much adjacent to a police precinct. The area was extremely dangerous back then, and it's even worse now. The most I can say is stay away as far as you can from Jersey City, it was a nice place when my grandmother bought her home there in 1981, but around the late '80s and up the place became a cesspool.

The staff at the front door are very rude. My mom was going to take my brother because they made him a school transfer, and they told her that they couldn't attend her that she has to go on another day. Like they didn’t care.

Horrendous. Lengthy review. TDLR: This school is as bad as they get. Please look the other way when deciding whether or not to send your child to this middle school. Environment- Awful. I am an alumni for 2016-2017's 8th grade class. I didn't spend too much time in this school although. My mom was aware of the toxic environment (police constantly coming to the school, and full on fist fights breaking out for what felt like everyday) I often spent my time home (studying. Of course.) And then eventually moved schools, and then got homeschooled. (Which I feel was far better off.)Academics- Basic, I suppose. I can't exactly remember what was being taught back when I was still at the school, but things didn't really seem quite challenging. Homework was rarely assigned I am pretty sure. Teachers and Students-Students, as aforementioned, were very violent and toxic. Of course, not all of them, never all of them. Although bullying was an IMMENSE problem. One of my best friends suffered from bullying and one day while inside during Recess she told a teacher about the bullying. Absolutely NO action taken against it. Unsurprising.
