Dewitt Clinton High School

One of the best school in NYC....!!!

I feel very happy that my baby is in this school. The teachers are very good, and the environment is perfect for children. They are always attentive to everything and vey responsible. I feel safe leaving my baby at the school.

St. Philip Neri is an okay school. I personally had a good experience going there but many of my friends did not. The way that the recent administration handled disciplinary actions was terrible and often biased by the principal's past perceptions/views of you. Barely over half of the teachers were good some were alright, and there were a large minority with short tempers and others who would drift off topic when teaching. The school also needs to improve its afterschool activities and such. With new funding from the archdiocese I expected that clubs and activities would improve but they didn't. Of course, the school had other problems with structure and stuff but still. There are counselors for kids that need them which is good for mental health. My advice to any students/parents reading this is make sure you value your own personal journey if you go here, if you want to go to a super good school then going here won't be enough you have to work hard for it.

Very good school, there was order in the neighborhood, unfortunately they closed it and now they put a Charter School which is a complete mess, the parents come to drop off/pick up the students by car and create tremendous traffic, they block the driveways and are rude when someone ask them to move their cars. Many of them come with loud music in their cars in the mornings. They do not respect the neighborhood to which they do not belong. Lousy decision to put that Charter school here. People in the neighborhood disagree, we have PS56 and it does not show that parents disorder.
