As my sophomore year is coming to an end, I believe it’s time to reflect on my school year. This year, my school changed buildings, and a lot of positive changes were implemented, such as improved security. Additionally, we’ve gotten an abundance of new resources, such as an art room and brand new supplies! However, my school does not offer many advanced classes, there are no Honors level courses and few Advanced Placement classes offered to the underclass men; this is something I’d like to see improve in the future.
Being part of the Academy community, you develop a set of skills that prepare you for the variety of challenges the outside world offers. This is my personal experience as I am the Student Body President. I've been part of Student Government since the beginning of my Freshmen year, and to say that this club has not impacted me would be false. Our school, as most NYC schools are underfunded; however, our school, transitioning back from COVID, only added to the expectations of the student government members. Essentially, managing inventory and moving heavy boxes of uniforms was not in our range of work. A variety of experiences that I could share, but won't but simply state, I feel capable of working an office job and taking on leadership positions when for whatever is in need of it. The development that one gets from attending the school prepares you for handling high stress moments and learning how to thrive in any environment.
It's a very friendly environment. The school doesn't help prepare you for college and isn't best with faculty. It's very dirty and the facilities are horrible. The teachers don't get respected enough. The sports teams are very good for a small school. The school wastes way too much money on Opera when no one likes the program. The kids are very different, half the school cares about their grades and the other half are drop outs. A lot of the kids go to the back staircase and smoke their vapes which is disgusting. Don't recommend the school at all!
