9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe best thing about this school was leaving it. I can't say enough bad things about it. Bad behavior usually trickles down from the top, and this place is no exception. The administration is horrible, the teachers uncaring and mostly waiting to get married, and the predominantly affluent and white parents in a world of their own. DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS TO THIS SCHOOL. When my child entered middle school, she struggled to keep up with others because she learned almost nothing at 158, including how to SPELL. By the time she left middle school, she was at the top of her class and admitted to a SHS, in spite of the bad foundation of learning from 158. If they want to improve, they should start by getting rid of Dina and her minion, Janice.Parent Review1y ago - Jhs 167 Robert F Wagner

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is absolutely horrible there are fights everyday and no one gets suspended but people get suspended for skipping afterschool that is optional and teachers don’t care about the students, the education sucks the environment sucks and there is so much harassment and bullying and the dean doesn’t do anything to prevent it honestly the worst decision of my life putting this school on my list. Also if your new there gonna try to make it all fun but once you reach 7th grade its hell.Student Review4mo ago - Eleanor Roosevelt High School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating Averagemy daughter was hospitalized after being bullied in this school. Support: non existent. Wasting of potential. I would rename it Karen Roosevelt. So much for meritocracy and public education. Shame on you all.Parent Review11mo ago
