Niche Reviews
10/31/2024
My experience at STEM has been largely positive. The competitive environment has pushed me to become the best student I can be. However, this same culture can sometimes be quite stressful. At STEM, maintaining a 4.0 GPA is average, and taking at least three AP classes each year is also considered standard. Even a 1300 SAT score can be perceived as below average. While STEM has undoubtedly helped me grow, it can be discouraging when one B among all A's is viewed negatively.
9/30/2024
The best parts of my experience at STEM have been the teachers who have helped me in and out of school. It was unfortunate that until recently STEM had a low teacher retention rate meaning I rarely had the same great teacher twice. The math department has been mixed but recently stabilized to a good average. I would love to see more consistent quality in lunches as the vast majority were pizza.
8/2/2024
Very safe, friendly staff & teachers to make kids feel welcomed. They have resources available to help students with social and emotional behavior as well as academic support.

My friend was clearly having a hard time focusing and he had uncontrolable body tremors and he was on the edge of an overdose. We brought him to the nurses and they just sent him back listing it as a "panic attack". The same thing also happened to 3 other people in this school but one actually ended...

I am a parent of the Kindergarten student here at STEM.The biggest reason I picked STEM school was because of its diversity as our kid is colored in a neighborhood where more than 90% of students are white. However, the decision was very wrong. My kid was isolated for a month in the classroom away f...
