Stuyvesant High School is a very rigourous school, requires a high score in a very difficult entrance exam (SHSAT), and maintains a strong academic environment to support students. Many of the facilities and programs that are developed are meant to aid students in gaining acceptance to top universities. Additionally, Stuyvesant High School students have a strong sense of community with alumnis returning year after year to provide their own scholarships, aid, and knowledge to current students. Stuyvesant High School has a lack of diversity but is able to still support minorities with clubs that draws students with common backgrounds together.
I enjoy the environment that Stuyvesant promotes especially with the students that particularly create the experience. The student agency allows for an interwoven network of clubs that host movie nights, guest appearances, and musical performances.
Moreover, I feel as if the Tribeca area adds a lot to the Stuyvesant experience. Being, in the heartland of Manhattan, local delis, as well as Battery Park and the harbor makes for unique experiences. Clubs such as the Environmentalist Club takes advantage of this by breeding oysters and releasing them out into the sea.
Not only that, but teachers play well into the Stuyvesant culture. Many, while unorthodox relate to students through popular media, music, modern events, and even video games. The staff as well continually show support for students with free water bottles and even allowing the entire student body to vote for where $2000 funding could go towards waterbottle refilling, printing, or charging stations!

Stuyvesant Highschool is a very STEM school as the school budget goes towards Maths and Science classes. There is not much diversity as the majority of the students are Asian. When I attended Stuyvesant Highschool the counselors and teachers were always heavily involved in my academic success and very accommodating. As a specialized high school, it is very competitive with lots of assignments and exams every week. There is a lot of peer pressure to excel and many students derive their self-worth from their GPA. The arts and music department are underfunded compared to the STEM classes so I would not recommend it if you are looking to apply for an ARTS school. In order to attend you need to take the SHSAT, a specialized high school placement exam, and scoring high earns you a seat at Stuyvesant Highschool. Many students are commuter students so expect the commute to be long to and from school. There are many opportunities to join afterschool activities such as a sport or a club.
