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 a very special school. It is for students who come from Spanish speaking countries, and have recently moved to New York. Usually students in this situation have a difficult time, but since this school is made to help them adapt, it has a very positive impact on us. Something that I would change about the school are some of the rules, for example that students can't have braids or earrings. I feel that this should be changed because it does not affect a person's education.

It was safe, we did not see a lot of fights in the school. More extra curricular activities and to end school earlier. Also, better technology for students when working with working with computers since its a school based on technology. Another thing is to not teach students literature and writing skills with programs on the computer but make it human although it is technology school.

The Academy for Language and Technology is a good High School. The teachers always try their best to make the students succeed and the staff make the school a safe environment. It also helps students who recently came from their native countries learn English as a second language.

I have been exceptionally impressed by ALT! There is an excellent school culture of curiosity, hard work, and respect for each other. Despite the fact that the vast majority of the student body are non-native English speakers, teachers ensure that the curriculum remains rigorous and accessible for a...
