The inner city school had a bad reputation, and at one time was considered among the most violent in the country. However, a very dedicated, perservering staff has turned this school around. There has been far less violence along with an increasing amount of academic success.

This school is horrible for any student and if by chance your child is one with special needs forget it! I am appealing to the district and school board for help with staff behavior toward students which is inappropriate to say the least.

This is not a good school. It should be. It was. It needs firm community action from the senior citizens home to the local restaurants to the Catholic schools to Kodak.

I am actually a student teacher at Charlotte High School in eighth and ninth grade social studies classes. I have been at East High School, Fairport High School, and Cicero-North Syracuse was my own high school. I have been in the most suburban, and most urban schools in New York. True, the school is
... Read more dirty, loud, and the students are a bit unruly. The kids are good kids though!!! They have issues, they are loud, they are kids, and yes, at times, they are disrespectful, but they have good hearts. The teachers try so hard, the administrators try even harder. We do need more parental inclusion into the student's lives, and the school would probably be a much better place... Please keep an open mind about the school, they are a great bunch of teachers and students. We all just need to work together to get it under control. Read less

Read more outcast school, a school of last resorts, but in spite of this the faculty here still has hope that through their efforts that even the least of these kids will have the opportunity to become productive members of our society. Although what makes this so challenging is the lack of parent involvement or even parent caring, parents are the Genesis of our social fabric and should be held ACCOUNTABLE as such. Until this happens our teachers will continue to fight an uphill battle. Read less
