Bronx School for Law Government and Justice

I am a parent of a 10th grade student at the school.The Internship opportunities are great. My son has volunteered at the Botanical Garden,The Civil Court house and has been involved in Debate, Chess and sports teams. The dress code is extremely strict (dress shoes, tie,shirt) but they are preparing for legal and corporate business. My son is proud to dress like a professional.

My son will be a new 9th grader coming in and the schools seems great but unfortunately he does not want to go to the school because of the strict dress code. Now I need to find him a new school because if I don't he's not going to dress the way they want him to and may eventually not go to school at all. The strict dress code could really discourage some children.

This school is a nice school in a wonderful facitlity. For themost part the students are respectful of authority, they are students that want the respect that they have to give the administrators.

LGJ looks nice, has some good teachers that teach good n not only teach and learn from but those who built a true relationship with you and who act luke true humans. The bad things are the dresscode rules are to strict they worry more about that then their education,there late and disorganized in everything,they change to many rules and apply those that dont apply in the books;n treat teachers unfair.

LGJ (Law, Government and Justice) is an academically rigorous, safe and nurturing environment for all students. The faculty and staff love their jobs and their students. They make every effort to provide a well rounded and challenging experience for the students. The students themselves are dedicated, charismatic and as a result of the overall tone of the school they are well prepared for the rigors of college and professional life. If you are looking for a premier school with an excellent graduation and college preparatory program this is your place.

My name is Christina Vasquez and I am a current LGJ student. I have been attending this school for the past 3years. This school offers various of courses. This school is very tremendous. The teachers don't only teach but they guide as well. You are able to get one on one help, thier are always someone to talk to. Unlike many other schools this is a safe environment. It's like a second home to many of us. Dont get me wrong they do expect a lot from you. You are challenged the whole way through your highschool year. LGJ even has 7th and 8th graders. How many schools do you see has that. For more information come by and see the school spirit and how it can impact your life, because it sure did mine.

The quality of academic programs are great A wide variety of: Civil law courses Business law courses, After school tutoring, Sports, Real court room with international access, The parents are constantly involved. The gym is very huge and comforting. The students are very well mannered, strict dress code is enforced. Internships at law firms and big businesses. The school has very small amounts of children within each class for a more personal learning hands on experience. Every teacher becomes really involved with the students and wants nothing but the best for every one equally. no earrings, baggy clothing, or tardiness. the students who attends this high school must be dedicated very hardworking, and respectful. the lunch room is remodeled as the a mcdonalds booth very colorful and spacious. this i have to say is the best school in the bronx maybe even the new york state because of it's value and devotion to strict rules and guidence the teachers provide.
