I used to go this school, but that counts right? One word to describe this school: AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I totally miss this school. I had to leave all my friends just to move to Bayside and start my life all over again. Seriously, whoever's going to this school is sooooooooooooooo lucky. This school is a total blast! Many field trips, many friendly teachers, and best of all, MANY CLUBS!!!!!!! ^^ I really don't understand my parents. Why did they even transfer me to this new school in Bayside in the middle of the school year? They know how awesome this school is. They always had high hopes for me in this school. Suddenly, they're like *poof!* changed and hates this school. :( One day, I know that one day, I'll come back to Flushing and visit this school. :D By that time, my parents won't be able to stop me! >:D To finish, I want to say that this school is the BEST JHS that you can possibly go to.

This is not just a good school but a GREAT school! Principal Diaz-Burgos has brought the school out of the toilet since arriving in 2004. It's always about the children! The overal atmosphere is nothing less than caring about the welfare of the students, their educational needs and their personal needs on an individual basis. Students are also taught how to make life changing differences for those in need by community service, fundraising, etc. Teachers are dedicated and go above and beyond with extra curricular activities such as but not limited to basketball, cheerlleading, American Sign Language, drama, guitar lessons, Zumba and many, many more. It's not a wonder that JHS 189Q received "Well Developed" (the highest rating) on its recent School Quality Review!

I love JHS 189!!! So many friends,great after school programs,morning programs like volleyball id great as well and the teachers teach kids not just science math history etc. When u actually get to know them..they are not so different to you. This is my Senior year so I'm gonna miss that school!!! Kids who are coming or are in the school for the first time 'when u get attention don't abuse it.Use it' =)

This school is very crowded. I am a former student here and don't like it very much. The teachers are GREAT but the other students have no respect for each other and care more about their looks than their grades.

This is the best school ever. It is a school where every one is equal and noone is rasist unlike other school. Everyone is a different race. I really miss this school
