I don't like how articles gives I.S 162 a good look. This school is horrific the principal curses worst than anybody I have ever know and whenever somebody comes to review the school the principal has the teachers predetermine the questions that the teachers ask the students and gives the students the answers to those questions. The teachers hit and choke the students along with cursing at them. There are fights everyday and the staff just stand by and let it happen. What this school needs is to undercover be filmed by a student like myself for a whole day so that it can be uncovered for what it really is and get a surprise visit so nothing can be predetermined.

I am graduate here at Is.162 in the year of 2004. that school is one of the best schools ever. The teachers are great, they are more than just teachers they are ur friends. We had alot of extra coricular activities, we had saturday school, senior trip day, movie trips, museum trips, labs. We even enterd into the TQNYC technology competition, which I took part in. We may not have one but we made to the semifinalist out of over 500 kids. Thanks to the great teachers we had there. Like Ms. Carr, Ms. Carty, Mr. Skeet, Mr. Bascom etc. We had the best graduation and prom ever. The students were given many chances. If ur looking for a goog school for ur kid choose Is.162. On the skale of 1-5 I would give a 10!

My son goes to I.S. 162 and I just think that principles should be more involved in improving the overall scores of the school as well as the behavior and attitude of the students. They should make certain demands to improve expectations of students and parents.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 New York used the New York State Assessments to test students in grades 3 through 8 in English language arts and math, and in grades 4 and 8 in science. The results for English language arts and math are displayed on GreatSchools profiles and the science results will be added when they are released in the Fall of 2013. The tests are standards-based, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of New York. The goal is for 90% of students to meet or exceed grade-level standards on the tests.
