The community as a whole is alright. The area that it is located in is very expensive so getting outdoor lunch sucks sometimes as food is expensive. Overall, the environment was pretty nice and most of the teachers that I had were great.
9/22/2023
Best part - it is small, the teachers are amazing, it is in NYC. Worst part - the building is shared with other schools, lunch is too early and some of the teachers are too casual.
4/14/2023
During my time at museum school, I went through several weekly module courses and AP classes that indeed helped get credit for college but these were usually scarce. there were a maximum of 4 module courses to pick which ended up in rotation and about 3 AP class choices. Museum school sports facilities were poor and shared with Lab school upstairs. The overall safety on the schools streets was questionable with at least 2 hit and runs each year. Club activities, however, were easy to join and create.

Disgusting. The administration cares only for themselves and how they look to the parents. Teachers, including subs, are treated poorly by the administration and the kids alike. The union rep is also untrustworthy. I would look elsewhere.

The staff are exhausting and management has no clue what they're doing.

I have one child who graduated and another family member in attendance at this high school. The administrators and staff are very committed to setting these kids up for successful college careers. Well over 90% of the kids at this school take at least one AP or advanced placement class. It is a safe...
