Writer of "The Wedding Singer", outstanding drama club, national level athletes, students of every American demographic, State and national level music department, award winning artists, a campus that's not ugly and pretty sexy looking, a war Korean War-hero, social media marketing class, over 9 gyms, egghead scientists going to Harvard, a whole commercial plaza surrounding the school, a whole security department of retired NYPD with Brooklyn accents, famous talent shows, own broadcasting studio and news-like morning announcements via television, so many kids you meet new people everyday, the culinary, music, business, science, art, drama, marine biology, technology, computer science, media, math, day-care, ghetto-kid departments, an Asian math teacher who was fired for selling weed, and so much more! Wow! Close Quote

I'm the parent of a musician and I would want no other school but this one for my child. There is no better school to raise up young, talented musicians. Even though the school is large, the music department takes care of it's students and it is itself a "small school" within the large one. Close Quote
