Teachers at nest are committed to helping you grow. The college advisor is fantastic and the school is really great at helping you explore where you want to go. I came to nest because of the well roundedness, we are a stem school so the humanities have room for improvement, but you have the ability to chase after every passion. There is an overall pretty good sense of community, upperclassmen have the biggest bond while there can be a divide between new freshman and those who have been at nest for years, but the freshman theater class teaches empathy, self esteem, and kindness and is one of the main reasons I chose nest. There are plenty of clubs and activities to explore, you will find your people and bond with your favorite teachers. It's a beautiful and vibrant school and the amount of windows has a really amazing vibe. The best high school in NYC for me and my learning style, definitely has its flaws as does anywhere, but an overall amazing experience.
I love the way the teachers interact with students. They make sure that students know the material and at the same time, the students also make decisions for themselves. Not only that, but there is a lot of interactions within students that happens within the classroom, therefore students aren't just staring at textbooks or working independently (although there is designated time for that). The teachers are also ready to give advice about most things when you ask them something. In addition, the material is challenging; students aren't just learning the same content over and over again. There is a lot of variety. Last but not the least, the change in students is clear. When looking at their work from the beginning of the school year to the end of the school year, they have improved in their writing, math, scientific knowledge, and much more. I love the school!
Although the school has a majority of Asians and Whites, I feel that the school still had diversity and therefore brought a bit of comfort to me. The staff and teachers are pretty nice for the most part. The one big issue however is that the school focuses its funding and attention on the middle school and the high school students don't really get anything new or nice. Also, the hallways are always crowded and at times there is no sense of organization in the school. Basically, Pros: friendly staff and community, Cons: K-12 Concept is too much for one school to handle and can create unwanted imbalances
