Although I haven't really stepped foot inside East Leyden yet, I have a great feeling about the way the school operates. Being involved in this e-learning world may be super challenging, but the school is visibly trying to make everything work and engage students(through a computer screen). We are learning many new things and the teachers are very helpful throughout this whole process. Teachers, counselors, the principal, and everyone else that works at the school always make sure to let you know that they are here for you if you ever need them, and don't be afraid to ask any questions that you have. I feel that by the end of my high school experience at this school I will be very ready for college. In addition to all of this, there are many clubs and activities available after school which I love to engage in! If you are in need of help there are hours after school in which teachers are available to give you the extra assistance that you may need. East Leyden is a great community!
East Leyden has always been welcoming to everyone no matter what your ethnicity/race is along with what you identify with. Leyden tries it’s best to make the building a safe place not only emotionally but physically. Leyden also has a variety of classes and clubs for everyone to participate in and you can even make a club if you feel as though non apply to you! East Leyden has good athletic programs as well ranging from badminton to football. They also have amazing counselors and staff to make sure if you ever need a hand they’re their to help. Leyden also makes the transition from 8th grade to freshman a lot easier than most schools through their access programs that encourages upper class men to help them.
What I value most about East Leyden is how the faculty always pushed us to figure out our post-secondary goals. Counselors hold frequent meetings throughout the semester from freshman to senior year to get students thinking about their futures. I also enjoyed the wide array of classes and the great resources that come with the classes. For example, our Autos program allows students to work on faculties cars, while our Arts program enlists students in art shows and scholarship opportunities year-round. However, one of Leyden's downfalls is feeling unsafe in school. We've had incidents in the past where the student body was in danger, and although the faculty has implemented more security and mental health services, I still get a bit nervous walking in the hallways,
