This is a good school because my child is making academic progress, is excited about learning, and enjoys the school community. The class sizes are larger than the ideal size. Yet, even with the larger class sizes, the teachers meet the challenges and they are experienced and qualified. The parent involvement is great. Since the school and the parents work together, it benefits the children. (I hope this year goes well.)

As a guardian of a current student at this school, this student is being bullied and none of the teachers are doing anything about it. It was already pretty bad that the teachers aren't doing anything about the bullying, but it is worse that the teachers did not let this student tell their family members about it because they say that it will make it a bigger deal. It is not alright for a teacher to tell their student to not call their parent because of it will ruin their school reputation. The teachers dealing with this problem says that they will be able to fix the problem but they didn't do anything. Now this student is afraid to go to school because the bullies threathens to jump this student and call their friends over to also bully and join in. Also, the bullies didn't get in trouble because the teacher said that he did not see it happen. This isn't the first time this student was bullied but the first time, there was at least one teacher that tried to solve the problem but she left so now this student is having trouble solving this new problem. As for learning, teaching, and other parts of reviewing a school, if students don't feel safe then they obviously would not feel motivated or excited about learning and other activities.

I attended Gramercy last year 2015-16 as a freshman. Transitioning from middle school to high school was hard due to the location in the beginning but months in I realized union square is actually not that bad after school there's so much to do ...so many restaurants & stores or you could get involved in one of the sports or clubs afterschool. personally to me i think some of the teachers are good & be involved with the students alot during class or even lunch for tutoring. I transferred out of Gramercy this summer and went to a school in brooklyn , early September i didnt like the school, just how they taught & the curriculum they taught so I transferred back to Gramercy. you may ask why , I transferred back because Gramercy has good AP Classes , there isnt strong/bad female drama (Im A Female), the teachers make class fun but educational and plus i was on the basketball varsity team, i didn't want to leave my Irving Bulldogs Family .lol
