This school has molded my daughter into a well rounded student! Best choice I’ve made thus far!

Benjamin Cardozo High School has a lot of potential, but unfortunately it falls short in several important areas. The biggest issue is the math department. Many of the teachers don’t seem to cater to students with different learning styles, making it difficult for those who need extra support to truly understand the material. The physics curriculum is also confusing and poorly structured, often feeling disconnected and not taught in a way that builds understanding.On the other hand, the school clearly puts much more effort into its History and English departments. Those subjects tend to have stronger teachers and better organized classes, making it clear where the school’s priorities lie.The facilities could also use significant improvement. The locker rooms are often dirty, and there have been times when the bathrooms don’t even have soap available. Small issues like these add up and create an environment that doesn’t feel well maintained.Some staff members, particularly in the cafeteria, can come across as rude and unfriendly, which doesn’t make students feel welcomed or respected. The guidance department is also underwhelming. Counselors have so many students often around 200 each that it’s difficult for them to give individual attention or accurately keep students informed about their academic progress and future planning.The most disappointing part is that the students themselves are generally kind, respectful, and genuinely willing to learn. They have the motivation to succeed, but too often the school fails to provide the support, resources, and environment they deserve. Benjamin Cardozo High School has dedicated students, but it needs to do a much better job of supporting them academically and personally.

A whole new level of terrible administration! I sent emails, but nobody replied except the Assistant Principal. I went in person to submit the required documents, yet nothing was corrected, so I followed up with another email—and again, no response. When I went back in person, they told me the documents were lost, without even an apology. If you ever submit any paperwork to this school, make sure you get a receipt or proof of submission from the person who takes it.
