GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

I went to Henry street school for international studies for high school. I was there for 4 years and it was a great experience. Nice staff,most of the teachers were decent and the college readiness program was amazing. I recently graduated in 2015. I am now a sophomore in college going into my junior year.

I felt like only specific individuals who were seen as a "issue" and was fired who reached out and actually spoke the truth to us about college and the real world and what it's like being prepared and unprepared out there. She loved us and showed it but the principal in my opinion was threatened by her and wanted to get rid of her. I say she seemed threatened by her because she gave us the students something the principal never would and that is the truth.

We're safe in the school there are security at the front making sure strangers don't come in and fights are taken care of quickly and sometimes even before they happen.

There is a huge lack of communication amongst the faculty. Although there are some members of this staff that are extremely pleasant. There are definitely enough bad seeds that spoil the bunch. Certain teachers should not be allowed to interact with students especially during this pandemic.
