Does what it needs to get by. After 6 years of promising parents to have a working website there is none. No longer a magnet school. Close Quote

I graduated from this school one year ago, and it certainly had its flaws. But there was also a lot of great things about Prall, for instance the Ms. Penegacos and Ms. Suter (The Drama and Chorus teachers). They really try to form a good teacher-student relationship with every student from the moment you enter their room and take their plays very seriously.

Also, they had a fantastic After-School program, it included DJing, Dancing, Art, Cooking, Wall Street, Lego Robotics, Academics, Cheerleading and Teen Club. As you can see, there was definitely a lot to choose from when you are handed that survey.

Although I can't speak for every student, there a few fights but in general there is nothing too chaotic really going on. And getting into mischief, like anywhere else, can easily be avoided.

But if you are deciding between IS 27 and another school, I think you should go here, because it has some of the best teachers on Staten Island and I really think my three years there has made me a lot smarter book-wise, and honestly, street-wise too. Close Quote
