My high school experience was amazing at POBJFK high school. Being an athlete, the athletics were very inclusive and each and every sport made you feel like you were a part of a family and something bigger than yourself. The academics are excellent and the teachers truly cared about helping the students reach their full potential by offering help almost every day after school. However, one thing that I would like to see change is the school spirit. The events that the school ran didn’t have an amazing turnout unless it was for college or an academic purpose. Saying that I hope that the school takes more pride in getting the school staff and students to participate more in all events.
This highschool offers numerous courses of many subjects, including APs and honors classes. The teachers and faculty here are very supportive of your success and want you to do well in their classes. There are tons of clubs you can join as well (or you can start your own!) As a minority, I would say that the school isn't too diverse, but I would say it's pretty okay considering the diversity rankings in Long Island . You will definitely find your own group when attending the school, which ultimately determines how fun your HS experience will be. As a current junior, I would say that I am grateful to attend a school with many resources and extracirriculars.
Overall, the curriculum and teachers are very good at preparing you for college and learning in general. The administration genuinely feels like they want to help you. The culture is fine in that there doesn't seem to be much bullying and mostly everyone is friendly but school spirit isn't exactly major either.
