I have been able to make many different friends here in Spellman. It plays a great role in my social life and is my second home. I do wish that the acedemics were a little better and how the teachers go about teaching it. Maybe if the teaching was a little bit more hands-on and engaging it would be easier to go about learning. Overall, this is a decent school which tries to progress, and be better every year.

I was involved in many clubs at the school. They had some many clubs that fit the interests of different students. It was a great academic environment. School spirit was phenomenal and I can't wait for them to grow even larger. Proud to be an alum!

Cardinal Spellman was my first choice of high school and I can't say that I regretted my decision. Here I made various friends who I hope to keep in touch with even after our rapidly approaching graduation. GO PILOTS!

I thought highly of this school because the teachers were kind and preparing. However, during my recent visit, I noticed significant issues. Many students were cheating, and they unfairly blamed hardworking students' poor scores for laziness. The curriculum didn't prepare students for the SAT/ACT, r...

I was a student here may years ago when it was considered a top school. It has graduated some extremely successful people (Supreme Court Justice Sonya Sotomayor and John Fahey, for example) and had a reputation for academic vigor unlike any other Catholic high school in the New York. That said, I kn...
