This school is not good at all. First, if you go to greatschools.org you will see that is doing so bad that is an embarrass to the community. Since, the removal of the last principal the school has done so bad that I am surprised that it is still open. Now it is an F, the last two years it was a D. My question is when is that the DOE will close the school and fire the principal and all her staff. For real!!!!! She has not done anything since she arrived, what has she done? and the worst thing is that the first year that she arrived when she was an intern principal, the school got a D for the first time and then the DOE hire her permanently and now the school is an F since then. What is going on????? and the other thing the students do not pass the regents specially English???? The school has to be closed. Close Quote
