I am a seventh grader of ms72 and so far this school is doing a gret job in preparing me for highschool. This school has many different academies like Law and Justice, Gifted and Talented(G&T), Journalsim and a few others. I started going to this school in 6th grade and have now been in G&T for two years.

Others that can't attend that can use the'r lunch period to go to a teacher for extra help. There is disadvantage. The amount of fighting in the school. I mean it's not the principle's fault it's just that some people just can't get along or solve their problems in an orderly manner. I still Love this school. Read less
