Im not sure if it is a good highschool. The students seem to be lazy slackers at times


Posted May 6, 2010

Landmark High School is one of best schools you could possibly attend... regaurdless to what any rating could say. Sure, there are a few flaws, but Landmark is an adaptable school with students and staff that are willing to create change that will benefit everyone. Being that this is an portfolio based school, we are not required to take regents (except for ELA) or standardized test. That is good because by doing portfolios you learn how to put together a proper research paper, give a visual & verbal presentation and discover things about yourself. Each of those things are highly useful in college. Best of all: the teachers/staff are 'real' and offer much knownlegde in and outside of the classroom.

This school is a small good and well learnig evenoirment. They really want the students to learn. The teachers are nice and caring also willing to help the student learn if they have to stay after school they will. They will take their lunch time to help the students. I really liked the school .

My child attends Landmark and he has learned so much and value education. He is planning to attend college and all this I owe to the support of his teachers. I would definetely recommend any parent who cares about his/her child's education to consider Landmark high school as one of the best high school. Landmark is for serious minded children who really are considering to attend college.

This school is not an appropriate learning environment. The majority of students do not value education or success. If your child does plan to attend, spanish needs to be their number one language!

About the tests


In 2011-2012 New York used the New York State Regents Examinations to test high school students in English, math, global history and geography, US history and government, living environment, chemistry, Earth science and physics. Students must take at least five Regents Exams in order to graduate. Scores of 65 and above are passing; scores of 55 and above earn credit toward a local diploma (with the approval of the local board of education). The goal is for all students to pass the tests.
