It started off great the school seem to encourage good behavior and creative but then the next year they got sticker. Didn't really seem to care about the students I even got detention once because my mom bought me a uniform without a collar a simple mistake. But they didn't care.

My Children have been in the school for 6 years. I couldn't have found a better school for them in the Bronx !!! Not far from home, the teachers give 110% & they make young adults out of their students. They dont not teach them for only test. They go up and beyond for their students ! I Love #BSSWA...
