This school offers dual enrollment which is great and useful. I feel like I got a higher quality education and access to more resources with the dual enrollment program. However, the school is underfunded and I feel like that impedes the education received.

The school is located in the South Bronx, it's a small school that has a low amount of student ranging to 400 to 500 students. The school is very unfunded for example no new textbooks, no new sports equipment/jerseys, everything is either old or passed or shared with the other schools in the building. However the environment is a small welcoming, everyone knows everyone and the staff makes the learning experience more fun.
