Alfred E Smith Career and Technical High School

Needs improvement. Staff needs to be on the same page, and they all should have the same information - I can ask 5 different staff members the same question and get 5 different responses. Teachers should be informed - sewms like administration is hoarding information bc teachers can't answer questions bc they honestly do not know procedures at the school

Overall the school is okay in the sense that it's a school and it's close by. Many of the students know of one another from being in the same neighbor Hood, but it definitely has alot of things it needs improvement on. I hope the new changes happening now including having a new principal helps make the 2020 school year a more positive one. There are a few great teachers and most of the staff I do know of are very professional in their job titles, others on the other hand are rude and need to be retrained to work in a school setting period. I hope this school starts to improve soon. It can be alot better.

Honestly I’d recommend this public school to many families because it’s surrounded with a safe environment and the professors make sure that the students go off to high school knowing what they learn

My son has been at Zeta since last summer. They said they will do the assessment so he can be at the grade he was supposed to. Then lower him one level because he refuses to do the assessment. Informed me three months into school year. They don't apply any of his IEP (Especial education) needs or therapies; after they told me they follow with it and all. My son has been labeled as a problem in this school; mind you their school don't provide what he needs. They informed last month he is not at a point to move up to the next grade (Two months before the end of the school year). I am switching over back to DOE at least they were following his IEP and support him a lot. Zeta sold me an imagine that my son was a good fit and they will help, but no they just make his progress worse. Please be aware that they are disorganized as well. I handed over the EpiPen and medical forms and they waited almost four months to tell me they couldn't find it, then they found the EpiPen but not the form. I was very upset; I should have remove him from that school that day.
