This school do not care about their students from the principal down to the dean. Students in this school don't feel any safety and the staff is very bias towards certain students.Since the last principal leaving this school it turned to worst. I have reported this school many times to DOE but nothing happens

I was a temporarily assigned teacher there for several months. I enjoyed the stay there. I felt the principal was very nurturing and committed to the students. His door was constantly open and the students felt comfortable going to him. The only issue I noticed was that the school had several Art genres when it started and are now down to a few. The directory has not been revised and may be misleading to students.

Why is there a bathroom rule like I need to use the bathroom…

It was a very good school but they became too strict after Mr Rivera left and it can stress kids. And most teachers really play around with detention and laugh when kids get it for anything minor. You ask what's home work but you forget one thing detention even though they asked they don't have mercy. So I would say they should have more Mercy and less strict since I used to be late last year and never got detention since they would ask if if I have a excuse but It would affect my grade if I was late a lot and sometimes they'll give lunch detention so I would try not to be late. But now if you're late they give detention and no recess without any asking of why I was late and if I have an excuse. Also they do a lot of guilty by association. Hw isn't a really big deal but they give a lot but I'm not complaining about that kids don't like it but it helps to learn. Besides this it's a top school in the Bronx and I would recommend if they became a little more understanding why detention and home work exist and not play with it. I only got it once when we were writing a story in ELA and I asked my classmates what the homework was but they said everything except this one thing that I really didn't see why it needed to be filled but the teacher never said it was homework but assumed it was since everyone did it and gave detention. I was really sad and confused why the teacher would do that even though it was a story board planned thing, I forgot what it's called but it wasn't really useful since we write it on our notebook and the paper wasn't even the completed story we had to write it on computer. So I would say the teachers become less strict and stop laughing when kids do get detention and it's a good school and the 8th grade gets really serious and might stress you out but if you do it, it won't be a problem.

The teachers do not care about students wellbeing. Do not send your child to this school if you truly care about them.
