I went here. It has a great small personal community to it. The teachers and principal really care about your educational growth here and want to see you go off to college.

Small class size, dedicated teachers and in depth study are the best features of this school. My son loves it and is highly motivated. I believe it is best for self starters and students interested in humanities.

School of The Future is a wonderful school with amazing, caring teachers. I went there for middle school, and found it to be a warm and welcoming place. Our teachers would almost always meet during lunch, so they always knew what we were doing in our other classes. The students didn't always get along with each other, but most of the time we did, and since this is middle school we're talking about, getting along most of the time is pretty good! The class sizes are small which is especially nice if someone isn't doing well in one subject or another. The great teachers and staff were what really made our school stand apart from the rest.

Our school is a great little school that does amazing things and is often ignored by the DOE and parents who feel the competition that is created by the NY DOE as if schools were meant to compete with each other. This is a school that thrives on diversity, education and is just plain smart!

i went to school of the future for middle school and almost everyone who did is now going to the high school. i still speak to a lot of them every day and they all HATE it. i, personally, am going to bard and i LOVE it so i know it's not just a "silly high schoolers" type of thing. they do not like their teachers, they do not like the principle and they hate their classes. they also hate each other, but that's something else entirely. they aren't challenged (and to be completely honest, not all of them are that bright, and that's saying something.) a lot of the people there are less motivated and more unhappy because either they didn't get in anywhere else or they felt trapped so they didn't try. does that make up a good school? from experience, i think not

As I am just leaving for college, I have to say I had my doubts about this school. I spent 3 years in the MS and 4 years in the HS. It has its ups and downs. I would say if you want your kid to have a real High School experience to choose Stuyvesant, or Laguardia. This school best prepares you for the Future (No pun intended), you dont have your typical nerds, jocks or rebels in this school, everyone is accepted. With that though, theres no home games for any sport and can be frustrauting for the highly talented athletes, theirs no lockers, no individual desks, no bell system, no AP classes and much more. What makes this school so special is the teachers, they never offend anyone and love their job. Also a very safe school.

This is an amazing school. My daughter just entered 6th grade and absolutely loves it. The teachers anre fantastic. They are engaged, helpful, encouraging but firm. They teach excellent work habits that will assure success at the college level. Their lesson plans are interesting and original and they have a really good after school/extracurricular program. The administration is responsive and the parents are very involved in a positive way.
