This is a giant factory without enough conveyor belts. The school is too small and has been for a long time. If your child is in AP classes or above average then they will be treated like gold. For the average student they will suffer. You cannot get an appointment with someone until there is some sort of crisis. My daughter almost wet her pants because she had to go to the bathroom and the bathrooms are locked at all times. No more than 3 students can go in at a time. Teachers have to sit and scan students in to go to the bathroom like they are checking out merchandise at Walmart. In a school district where many of the students are from other countries why are all the teachers and staff white? The same is true when you go to the board of education to register your child for school. Everyone is white there. When I attended parent/teacher conferences the majority of teachers talked down to me as though I am stupid. Just because I don't have a degree in chemistry or math does not mean I am dumb. I am happy that we left and my daughter now attends parochial school.

Very bad school system from the principal and the office not make anything for make the school better !!!And every wrong not make anything the school I don’t know where the board from that!!!

Love School 16! From what I understand the school has gone through changes over the years but positive ones. Teacher's are kind and helpful and communicate well with parents. The school's HSA keeps the families involved and engaged by planning numerous activities throughout the year. The thing I love most about the school is that it is a tight knit community. Our experience at School 16 has been good so far in the 3 years our child has been there.
