#1 Most Diverse Public Middle Schools in Westchester County
Middle School Student: Well, my experience wasn't the best. If you want to be prepared for high school and excel on the state tests, this school is definitely for you. Many people complain about the homework and such, but it has really helped me excel academically. It's challenging and there's always something new to learn. The middle school teachers are passionate about their job and always make an effort to give you the highest grade possible.
The administration, however, is something else. Multiple accounts of physical bullying, school fights, death threats, racism, cyber bullying, etc are constantly being overlooked. The administration has done absolutely nothing about the issue, and it's very frustrating to witness kids slowly growing mental health problems because of it. Then, the same administration wonders why kids are failing school.
