I'm not a fan of the school at all since it feels like jail due to the fact that the classrooms are always the same, the teachers bark on those who don't speak English and there is no sense of joy in class.

Not a bad school. Just a lot of drama, chaos, and lack of respect within everyone. Teachers are cool and have good binds with students. Teachers want their students to succeed.

one of the best schools in the New York district. They have a good vet program as well as good sciences classes. Not much diversity in this school but the resources and academics make up for it.
