This is a really amazing school, I graduated from Lab middle school, then got into Stuyvesant. This school was my inch that allowed me to go a mile. Close Quote

My daughter's teachers have all been excellent and very dedicated to my daughter's educational needs these past five years. I have found that the teachers and staff at this school are very accessible whenever any issues or questions arise. My daughter's teacher last year did a commendable job in preparing her class for the new statewide standards. I am also glad to see that the class sizes seem to be a little bit smaller. Close Quote
