Maspeth High School is a fairly new school, but it's worth going to. I will be a junior and I have loved my experience here. I'm in two Varsity sports and two clubs. This school definitely challenges you but it prepares you for the real world through Socratic seminars and debates to improve speaking skills. And the staff squishes any problems that occur which makes you feel safe. All in all, this is a very good school and I recommend this very much!

Maspeth High School truly is one of the best high schools in New York City. The core curriculum stresses a unique classical curriculum, especially in literature. Unlike other schools, freshman delve into and challenge themselves with Homer's The Iliad, Sophocles' Antigone, and Apollonius of Rhodes' Jason and the Argonauts. The teachers are incredible cooperative and care about their students. Moreover, there are several clubs and sports for students to be involved in.
Maspeth High School is a great school - It is new and the teachers are mostly young and extremely dedicated and enthusiastic about what they do. Whenever you need help they are always available. From the teachers to the guidance counselors you always feel like somebody has your back.

Maspeth High School is in the middle of Queens NY but somehow they have made it feel like your in High School Musical! The sports and clubs are very supported and encouraged and all the students respect each other and work together.
