We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The best park about going to school is the environment and how close everyone is. It's a very safe place to be and feel welcome and heard. The teachers are very understanding and the students are well behaved. The worst part is the work load, it can be a lot but the teacher are willing to listen and give extensions on work.

I transfered to Central Park East High school during my Junior year. This school welcomed me with open arms as a fresh nervous student including students, teachers, and hall monitors. My experience as a new student has been of higher quality than my previous school in terms of activites, enviornment, and sports.

There is no place to put your jackets which means you literally have to carry everything. The staff does not care...
