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.

The staff and PTA work very hard to make the school feel like a second home for the students. My child transferred here towards the middle of the first marking period and is thriving. The principal, the office staff and the teachers have all been so welcoming and helpful.

I think this is not a safe school to be at i mean most of the good review is others prob the staffs gave a good review
