I was a student at this school about 5 years ago and when I was there I learned a lot and took that knowledge into high school. the teacher tried their best to teach the kids but most of the time it becomes a noisy room. there is a very small percentage of kid who could read at a college level. there was always a lot of activities to do we just had to stay after school to do them. the school is in the Bronx and lately the area has been a bit safer these last few month so you should be fine. since the last time I've been there teachers have been more open to express students culture. the sports are pretty good but i have not thoughts on that. the food is pretty good just how school food should taste like. There's not very much resources in this school besides applying for high school. You wouldn't really hear or see music in this school. lastly the teachers a workers are nice and some not so much.
