Urban Assembly School of Design and Construction

I have been going to this school for the past 2-3 years and it is one of the worst educational expeirences I have ever had. The teacher and atmosphere of the school is bad and the dress code and metal detectors make school feel like a prison. The teachers and staff is always on the lookout for students out of dress code and it doesnt let anyone express themselves in anyway. This School can offer you nothing for benifits of the future. The academic problems are far from challenging, you and your peers will feel as if the teachers and staff think that you are not capable of challenging academic programs. Also this school has few to no sports activity and it just doesnt give a good vibe for an educational environment. Sorry if I make any gramatical errors in my review because ive been going to this school.

metal detetors are oppressive and so is the school dress code. uniform clothing styes, wanding in the morning, and no off campus lunch privileges make kids think, not unreasonably I'd say, of jail. the english and science curriculms in 9th grade were terribly weak, math and history ok, and good music (guitar) and design programs. still, they don't teach to a high academic level here ovberall. the school is also almost all guys--and not a very creative or artistic atmosphere despite the design thing going on. the school does well by many kids, but make sure its a fit before you send yours. it was a match made in hell for mine, who eventually left for greener pastures.
