Hostos-Lincoln Academy of Science Reviews

85 reviews

I graduated from this school in 2021, and I can say that this school was definitely a big contributor in my personal character development. It is obvious that the teachers truly care about their job and the students. Although the school lacked resources, the teachers made up for it in the classroom. They made sure that my peers and I had the attention we needed to pass our classes. The dual-enrollment in Hostos Community College is an amazing opportunity that they offer, given that you have the required gpa at the time. Being in these college classes helped me with my time management skills and I am eternally grateful for the chance to have earned my associates degree at an early age, putting me at an advantage in my educational journey.

Best part of attending this school was the college program that allowed a challenge as well as an opportunity to earn college credits and experience during high school. Worst part was the pandemic for obvious reasons.

I enjoy attending Hostos-Lincoln Academy of Science because the teachers are very supportive and My counselor was great, also I was able to participate in Dual learning program. I graduated with my HS diploma and associate degree in liberal arts.

Review Hostos-Lincoln Academy of Science

The students are absolutely mental. None of them were clearly raised right and only express themselves by the use of slurs. These delinquents are extremely rude to each other and complain nonstop. I highly recommend to not be at this school or face four years of consequences from this mistake of a school.

This school offers dual enrollment which is great and useful. I feel like I got a higher quality education and access to more resources with the dual enrollment program. However, the school is underfunded and I feel like that impedes the education received.

What I like about Hostos Lincoln Academy is the sensation I feel from the school. The school is very welcoming to every student.

Majority of the teachers are great and really care about the students. You can tell that they prioritize students and their education. The neighborhood is not the best but not the worst and the school has a variety of classes to take. The best part of the high school personally is their early college program that allows students to take college classes at the local community college and graduate high school with their associates degree.

I had a really good High School life here. My time in HLA was drama-free and the school culture isn't as crazy, compared to other schools. The academic rigor mixed with the support teachers gave to students was a mix that called for success. I was one who dealt with a heap of work during my sophomore year, and all of my teachers gave me so much encouragement, which, in my opinion, is what got me to get through 10th grade.

In Hostos Lincoln you are in control. As a student, this was my favorite part. If someone wanted to go ahead and start their future, they could join the college program as soon as you want. If you want to go slow, then it’s up to you. There isn’t much diversity in the school, but the students are respectful. The counselors are very kind and understanding. If you have any problems they are willing to help and switch your classes. Most teachers are kind and try to allow students to do more than their best. There are many clubs and you can easily create your own club. There are also lots of sport clubs and other clubs for math or creativity.

Hostos is great! I love all the people there and the students make it a good environment. The college program is amazing and really helps students build up college credits for an associate's degree. I only gave it four stars for lack of AP courses, but it's understandable since it's a small school.

The school is located in the South Bronx, it's a small school that has a low amount of student ranging to 400 to 500 students. The school is very unfunded for example no new textbooks, no new sports equipment/jerseys, everything is either old or passed or shared with the other schools in the building. However the environment is a small welcoming, everyone knows everyone and the staff makes the learning experience more fun.

Hostos-Lincoln Academy of Science is a school that would inspire you to get involved in clubs to help you gain confidence and experience. The staff/ teachers will always give their assistance to know more teachers/lessons to get comfortable asking for help.

My experience in hostos was amazing, very calm and smooth. Very close knit community where almost everyone knows each other. The teachers are very close to the students as well.

I feel like overall Hostos Lincoln is a very average school. However, there are quite a few things that need to be worked on. First, their food is horrible and it’s mostly a general NYC Public High School thing so I don’t know how long it will take for that to be fixed. Secondly, a lot of the teachers clearly lack passion in their career and they feel as if they can do whatever they want because nobody is going to hold them accountable for their actions. Thirdly, the school needs to do a better job at creating more social activities for students because a lot of the time students complain that the school is boring. This is because the school tends to put way more focus on academics but they don’t make out the time and opportunity for students to have a little fun. They also need to create more clubs that fit the desires of the students. Besides that I believe that Hostos Lincoln is a pretty mediocre school but they do a good job at keeping their students together and focused.

I like how the teachers are always there for you after school and how when you struggling there is always someone there to help. What ill like to see change is the way for you to view your grades. I find it very difficult and have yet to see my grade this whole year.

Something that I loved about Hostos-Lincoln Academy was the huge amount of diversity that there was in the school. I have met many students from many different parts of the world and I have learned about the cultures that they use. I also feel that I had good representations of myself and my culture in the school as well. I never felt like I was being discouraged to express myself or the way I grew up because it was accepted and I was accepted by the school and the staff. The only thing I wish the school provided was more variety of activities and clubs to join. The clubs could have increased inclusivity of all kinds of kids.

Review Hostos-Lincoln Academy of Science

I've been attending Hostos Lincoln Academy for about three weeks now, as a 9th grader and my experience there was excellent all the educators are helpful. During my 3 weeks in that school, even though remotely I've met wonderful individuals there, the teachers make everything simple and understandable for every student and I am scornful to be going to this school. I've had an encounter with a 10th grader attending Hostos Lincoln Academy for a project and this sophomore was accommodating and admirable she told me about the school so pleasingly, the students there are great. The Teacher though I've had a hard time understanding some of my lessons the teachers would answer any questions I had or schedule a meeting (remotely) where they would elaborate on the lessons taught in class. During my 3rd week attending Hostos, we were introduced to a scholarship program call connect101 which showed us how to apply for scholarships, which led me to here. Every day at Hostos had been outstanding.

It is amazing and the students/staff relationships are nice. Everyone knows each other and usually gets a long very fast

Throughout my time in this school, I saw that the school was a very close-knit community. The staff were really invested in the students lives and tried their best to accommodate to the students likings.
