Senior: I attended Benjamin Banneker Academy from Freshman through Senior year. I had an excellent experience. The school provided several opportunities to students in terms of extracurricular activities. I was part of the soccer team and I was also involved in internship programs at Downstate Medical Center. The program was coordinated by Mrs. Moore who is one of the Science teachers. Having taken Honors and AP classes I believe I am quite ready for the next 4 years of college and beyond.

Senior: There is a tremendous amount of extracurricular and after school activities. You will all always be encouraged by teachers and students to join a variety of different sport teams help enrich your high school experience and to make new friends. Also the very diverse student body allows for the creation of lots of clubs and interest groups that you are sure to find at one that appeals to you. Additionally, being so close to Manhattan always gives you opportunities to get employment whether at an internship or other businesses and companies.

Niche User: New York is full of diversity. Not only do you learn academically, but you are exposed to different cultures and races which is a learning experience all on its own. The teachers are book smart as well as street smart. It is a busy district with population growing more each day. The teachers have a lot of students in their classrooms and it could be hard to help each and every student. Some students may not raise their hand when they need help and it could be easily unnoticed that a child may be getting bullied. But with the great opportunity New York has to offer, hundreds of jobs are opened to help students in need whether for tutoring, counseling, therapy and so on. What is great about NYC is the affordability it has to offer. All children get to eat lunch for free and CUNY schools make it affordable for young adults to receive a education at reasonable prices.

Senior: My experience in this district has been great overall from pre-k to now that I'm a high school senior. I feel safe as well as comfortable with the people that surround me. The staff in most schools in district 32 are very nice and respectful to both parents as well as students and try to be well communicated with the parents of the students to let them know how well there kids are doing in school academically as well as socially. The staff tried to get to know each one of there students and connect with them to make them feel at home and in a safe environment. Something our district should work on is academics. Now that I'm a high school senior I have done well in academics overall but I would have liked to been more included in the school, like in clubs. Our schools in the district don't have much money being funded towards the arts but more towards sports and sometimes not enough for academics either.

Junior: I have been schooling in district 19 for 9 years in various schools.All of which I had a nice experience in.Not only are the schools dedicated to enrich the foundation of learning upon the students but the students also work their butt off to enhance their own enrichment program through programs, activities, sportsmanship and the such. I personally like the way they disguise learning to be fun and gives the students what they need to fulfill their accomplishments. I would like for them to work better with the students as companions.
