My experience at George W Hewlett High School is basically average. I can have many bad things to say about the school but at the end of the day, there is no other high school I can go to and feel happy the way I feel happy at Hewlett High School. The academic and curriculum that the amazing teachers teach is very advanced and is not offered everywhere. There are so many opportunities for you to get help from teachers, and students around you. Although academically the school is great, there is a lack of diversity in the school. Granted that the school is located in a predominantly white Jewish area, there is still a lack of acceptance of people different color, ethnicity and religion by the STUDENTS. The campus itself is relatively large for a school and the food offered at the school is gross. But I guess that’s how every school’s food is. The idea of letting students leave to go out for lunch is a great idea because it allows students to get some air and interact with people.
Administration cares minimally about the students, and so often our facilities and whatnot are not taken care of. Nonetheless, a wide variety of classes are offered. Some of the classes have highly talented teachers able to teach the material well and connect well with the students - others, not as much, and the school refuses to listen to student complaints about these teachers. Our STEM department is particularly strong, however, especially the science research program.
Overall, I feel that my four years at Hewlett will prepare me greatly for college and beyond. The teachers implement a rigorous and challenging curriculum that teaches students a well rounded work ethics, and cater to students needs. However, there is a significant lack of diversity. Students who are perceived by others to not “fit in” are ostracized. This leads to a significant issue with mental health. The school needs to do more with diversity training, and mental health awareness. More assemblies on the subjects should be held for the general school public.
