Kindness, collaboration and perseverance are a few examples of Landmark High School’s vision and core values. This progressive public institution seeks to utilize modern advances in learning strategies for a more comprehensive and rigorous education. Students at Landmark High engage in Performance Based Assessment Tasks, or PBATs, demonstrating proficiency in subject reading, research and independent critical thinking. This is balanced by vibrant arts and physical education programs. The school also offers electives such as American Sign Language and comprehensive Spanish classes. Landmark High School facilitates an Internship Program and a Teen Activist Project led by the NYCLU. If students choose to challenge themselves, they can take Advanced Placement courses. Extra Saturday sessions also provide studies in advanced math, financial literacy, career assessment, chemistry, advanced writing and psychology. The school has an incentive program, known as Core Bucks, where students earn a form of currency by exhibiting Landmark’s core values such as punctuality and helpfulness. Merchandise and student supplies can be purchased with core bucks. Further parental support is engaged through the school’s Parent Association, which offers a variety of resources to assist their children’s education.

Landmark High School is a great school when mentioning the culture and the community. It's a space where the students can confide in the teachers and build a healthy work environment. The academics could use more work.

I enjoyed my experience at Landmark Highschool. They have a good staff who care about you and want to see you strive to do better. This school has a well diverse community and made me feel welcomed. I wish they had more opportunities for students but overall it was a good experience. I also wish they offered better courses for students and options for classes. They should be able to hear the students out for anything and not let them go down without a fight.

The school isn't the greatest. You have to climb up several floors to get to the class. The classes seem to be too full most of the time and the kids seem to mostly be rowdy. Besides all that it always seems like the teachers care for the students. They would always come to the students who needed help and do their best to help them. Most of the students get to really become friends with the teachers. No student really ever hates a teacher even if they had clashed heads before. Teachers are also extremely compassionate with students facing problems in their grades and social lives. They're like a second family.

As a parent, I feel that my child has had a great experience at Landmark HS. The school community is welcoming, supportive, and responsive.
