What people are saying

The absolute worst high school ever. Girls are sexually assaulted too often and administration does not take it seriously when it is brought to their attention and sweeps it under the rug. Teachers and administration openly talk about students personal issues and confidential cases in front of other students. Emanuel Caravano is quite literally a piece of trash. He spoke to another teacher about how a boy that was reported for sexually assaulting had “been through enough” in front of other students including the girl he assaulted. Parents have tried to bring this issue to the board of ed meetings, which of course ended up being useless. Save your time and money and send pics your children literally anywhere else. Close Quote

A big school but the staff and administration takes a very strategic approach to know the student body. Great school counselors and strong anti bullying program. Excellent STEM curriculum if your kids could make it to the placement and secure the classes. It tends to be very competitive but the kids help and support each other. Close Quote

The school is going downhill, with corruption building up everyday. Gang activities, and bullying. Close Quote
