I'm a Senior at Lehman. Throughout my time at Lehman, I was able to get ready for college quickly, such as a Person who helps you to plan for postsecondary, college essay helper/reviewer and college trips. Personally, I saw that our principal that we had for about two years now had increased the school funding and just gave every student a better experience regardless of grade.

In my opinion Lehman is far from a bad school. The teachers that I've encountered have your best interest in mind and want you to succeed as do the counselors. Like any other school in the Bronx there's problems with the cleanliness of bathrooms and the students are at times very disobedient

there should be more focus on Computer Science related majors in the school, more funding for their buildings, and a more up-to-date curriculum to keep the students interested. so far, the school head needs to do a better job for their students that are not in nursing

They took over 2 months to notify me that my child was not going to school. The teachers will not get back to me when I left messages. They do not know how to greet paren...

I went to Lehman a few years ago, my last year was when they installed the metal detectors. It's a very big school, if you can find yourself into the honor program you can really take advantage of what the schools offers. They offer numerous AP classes that transfer over when you move into college,...
