This is such a good school its makes you wanna stay forever.
—Submitted by a former student


Posted September 26, 2005

My child has been enrolled in this school for the past 3 years it's been a nightmare. Grades are input wrong. (Must monitor your child's grade's) no help from principal or teachers when asked to contact you when child is failing. To many free periods between classes for students.

This school has great teachers and great students. I attended this school from 9-12 grade since the day I walked in in 9th grade I was treated like family. Every student knows one another and if they don't they will by the time they graduate. I entered this school not knowing a single student by the time it was time for me to walk down the aisle in the La Guardia Community College Main Stage Theatre I knew everyone. I really had a good time doing two Shakespearian plays that were done in modern english so it was fun. I say to all of you who are reading this right now send your kid here you'll love it and so will your child.

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.
