Horrible school, some teachers here have a attitude and think they're right at all times when they're not, teachers don't bother teaching class but rather decide to tell the most uninteresting life stories. Questionable sanitation. Discrimination of students. Does not deserve to have a blue ribbon, only a red flag, teachers should really get checked for their skill before getting hired. This school has drained my mental health (I have to stay up until 2am on most days just to finish my work, just for there to be another stack of work), some staffs at this school have been very unpleasant to deal with, some of the staffs accuse you of thing you’ve never done before but they think they’re correct cuz they are the adults, they really need to take down their ego.

This school, has by far some of the worst teacher, some that have deteriorated my and my peers mental health. Some of the most appealing experiences. A certain science teacher sabotages the grade of some students by posting homework but then not telling anyone like we are supposed to figure out ourselves. Someone needs to check this school

I would 100% recommend this school to you. While this school isn't exactly perfect, it's fairly close. The environment and community in this school are very tight-knit, and you are most likely to make some friends (if you're looking for some), most teachers are great, but there are some outliers. this school also provides adequate support if you're going through a bad situation. Overall, this school is great, and I will remember my time here.

My experience at this school was that it was academically good, and fairly diverse. Graduated in 2015, went to Stuy after, which spoiled me a lot for school activities and extracurriculars, but I think they are fine for that as well.

In a academic standpoint, this school is fairly decent. Many teachers in this school are consistent, effective with their teaching, and are helpful, despite a few exceptions. This school also offers a large variety of programs like 3D Printing, debate club, volleyball, basketball, wrestling, coding, etc. However the rules in this school isn’t the most well enforced since there are rules that students don’t follow. For example, the school doesn’t allow students to use electronic devices without permission and in the building during school is in session but many students still use their electronic devices and not a lot of adults do much about it. Also this school can be very hectic when transitioning from class to class and during lunchtime. Overall, this school is a fairly solid school but the disciplinary can be slightly improved upon. 6/10
