Townsend Harris is the worse school ever. I graduate 2026 and so far it’s been beyond badgering
Posted by a student on 10/25/2023terrible. The teachers never give lesson or prepare their student to take tests. They expect students to prepare on their own since 59 percent take summer prep school. Therefore the one who does not will fall behind. There are no help you are on your own.
Posted by a community member on 10/28/2017Very challenging, students are very competitive and teachers regard their students with care and respect. Homework and tests require students to be really focused.
Posted by a parent on 9/8/2017Townsend Harris High School is filled with pompous teachers with little regard for their students. Teachers at Townsend Harris High School overload the students under the disguise of "getting students college ready" (practically drill this message into the student's head!). NEWS FLASH- The students
Posted by a student on 10/20/2016The workload was challenging with very high standards. This would either push you to do and be better or break you. It is a great school academically.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating Average165 is a school that is motivated to give the best of everything to our students. I've been in the building close to ten years now and based on my experiences with colleagues the staff is full of great teachers who really care about the emotional and educational well-being of each student. We're led by admin who really care. I can't tell you the number of times that admin and staff have cried and cared about the safety and emotional well-being of a child that no one outside the building would have seen unless they were there. 165 is a family and we're always looking to get better.Teacher Review6mo ago - Ps Ms 200 The Magnet School of Global Studies & Leadership

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school does use what I consider advanced learning curriculums, however, this schools environment is not that great. A lot of the students here will not make your child feel safe or comfortable/confident and some of teachers are similar. The extracurricular activities/talents are not very organized. The food here is predominantly gross frozen food. I don’t think children (youngest age 5) should be consuming this, neither should the middle schooler considering some kids only option is this nasty food. From what I hear around me, most kids do not like going here and always wish to go to another school instead. From my perspective/opinion, a lot of the staff and teachers don’t communicate well or are unorganized. I’m not trying to bash this school because I go here, so I’m trying to be completely honest, but if had to go back in time, I would NOT go to this school. The smart kids and advanced curriculums don’t make up for the environment…. I don’t recommendStudent Review1y ago - Yeshiva Of Central Queens
