High School of American Studies at Lehman College Reviews
Rating 4.08 out of 5 143 reviews
I began my time at High School of American Studies at Lehman College without any solid connections to the school. Besides one of my elementary school friends having attended the school, I knew no one in my grade. Thankfully, this was never a problem because the school community was quick to accept me with open arms and I fell in love with the school environment instantly. I cannot stress enough just how wonderful the people at this school have been, they are truly the most inclusive, intelligent, and hilarious students and educators I've ever worked with. While I will warn incoming students and parents that the work load is extremely arduous and challenging, the content of the classes (particularly the World and American history classes) is exceptional! The extracurricular activities are very humanities-oriented (I myself am a member of the mock trial, debate, and model UN teams) so I would especially advise students to attend if they demonstrate a propensity towards law and history.
The High School of American Studies has created a rigorous academic environment in which students are pushed to do their best academically, striving for success on the daily. Teachers are always willing to help students with questions and test preparation, making it clear that they wish for each and every student to succeed. The history program is unmatched, as a curriculum of US History that would regularly take up one year is stretched into 3, allowing the students to truly learn the complexities of American history. Although the school is incredibly small, this acts as a positive in the overall experience. Students become incredibly comfortable with their peers and can easily trust anyone around them for help. The class size being small allows teachers and students to foster a closer relationship with much more daily specialized attention. The facilities are not exceptional in the high school itself, however the ability to use Lehman College's facilities makes up for any faults.
The school is an excellent, very welcoming place. The unique opportunities and academic resources there have helped me excel. I've made lifelong friendships and learned more about myself here than any other school I could have wished to attend. Though it's small in both class size and physical space, the High School of American Studies makes up for it with phenomenal teachers, great academics, strong clubs, and a healthy student spirit.
