My family had an absolute horrible experience at this school! From the awful administrators, both principal and vice principal, to the incompetent horrible guidance counselor, to mediocre teachers, this school experience for the last several years continued to disappoint. This school failed my child on many levels including quality of services received, to recommendations of classroom placement, to sharing that my child was very behind in the last year of school before leaving and transitioning to middle school. Would have been nice if that was communicated to us years earlier so we could have gotten the supports needed and set him up for success in middle school. Poor communication with parents and overall, just terrible school. I am beyond thrilled that my child will no longer be a student here. Years ago, this school was considered to be an elite public school that was equivalent to a high-end private school. It completely went downhill, and the leadership is really at the core of it. I have many friends who attend the school that feel the same way I do. Do not send your child to this school! There are so many better options in the neighborhood.

Personally, I would not recommend this school. As a student I can defidently say that this schools safety is horrible. There's fights everyday inside and outside school. I also almost got into a fight in the middle of the yard and the staff were nowhere to be seen. Another topic I'd like to talk about is the education. Wagner's education is honestly not that good. As a student with an average grade of 90's I can assume how teachers just don't care about their jobs and students education and how little students learn about certain topics.

We have been very happy with ElRo. The teachers are so helpful and dedicated. I wish there were more events for students to attend outside of class, but the clubs are great. I wish more parents were involved. I think when the school opened up to the 5 boroughs, there is a little loss of parent involvement.
