#124 Best Public High Schools in New York
Freshman: Freshman here. School is competitive only if you're motivated enough and have clear goals set. They insist on doing things their own special way (GPA is only given to you at the end of 11th, joining clubs during COVID is a hassle, class ranking guidelines are vague, SO MANY others). There's many good opportunities for students to take advantage of, but only if they meticulously seek it out themselves. That at least that lowers the competitiveness of certain programs and classes by quite a bit. Not many AP classes compared to other schools in district, only HGAP is offered 9th grade (and you have to be selected). Teachers annoying at times but they know how to teach. Student body is pretty diverse yet racism is a somehow still a thing. Very accepting school if you avoid the right people. Most of the student body is enrolled in some sport. Good students tend to have high grades (95-100) yet don't really join any clubs or the like (please don't do that, join a club for your sake).
