GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

this school is well-known by many as one of the best schools in Queens- many people move into the neighborhood in order to be zoned here. the teachers are diligent in teaching the students, though there are a few lax/not great ones. the school culture is very defined, with events such as the GS challenge, senior trips, abundant amount of clubs/activities, etc. students are motivated to do their best and be involved with the community. their sp/g&t programs are vigorous and offer unique prospects. ultimately a great educational environment.

The academics are the main focus here. Everything is based on rigor. The teachers want to make sure you are ready for high school.

Questionable sanitation. Discrimination of students. Does not deserve to have a blue ribbon,...

This school, has by far some of the worst teacher, some that have deteriorated my and my peers mental health. Some of the most appealing experiences. A certain science teacher sabotages the grade of some students by posting homework but then not telling anyone like we are supposed to figure out ours...

I would 100% recommend this school to you. While this school isn't exactly perfect, it's fairly close. The environment and community in this school are very tight-knit, and you are most likely to make some friends (if you're looking for some), most teachers are great, but there are some outliers. th...
