My expierence at Manhattan Village Academy has been great so far, The academics are very great! However, they lack clubs and activities so i would say that is my only issue at the moment.

The best part about MVA was how involved all the teachers were with the students' school life. They were all eager to help the students with any problems regarding grades, bullying, or social life. The only problem I had with MVA was that students would occasionally vape in the bathrooms. One change I would like to make to the school is getting rid of uniforms. There are better ways to make money, like fundraisers, or school events. Instead of charging close to $300 every school year for uniforms.

I'd be at Harvard if I didn't go here. It's a school that hurts students with high potential. SAT scores are extremely low, and students are spoon fed all 4 years. They end up becoming incompetent and not able to compete with students enter college.
