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.
Freshman year I was bullied. However, very lucky that the assistant principles and guidance councilors were so helpful when it came to helping me end the horrible bullying. Sophomore year was better but I still had a hard time in classes due to my ADHD. It began to effect my grades. Myself, along with one of my teachers, and mother, got me evaluated and I ended up getting a 504. Junior year was just difficult because of college searching and SATs. I also began again to get bullied by one of the same groups of people from Freshman year. However, I did not let them belittle me and I stood up for myself. Senior year was the best and worst year of my life. I was finally getting out of high school and getting away from people that hurt me and terrorized me for year. However, personally, I had a lot going on at home. Luckily, many of my teacher comforted me and they were always there for me even when I tried being strong. Many of them I still am in contact with after high school
