I had a good time at Spellman. The classes vary from difficult to easy but that depends on the subject matter of the course. The teachers I had did their job to an outstanding degree. There are several clubs and sports teams to join and you will have no problem finding one that piques your interests or hobbies. The food is good, but that does come at a steep price so spend your money sparingly. In terms of safety, Cardinal Spellman has it down pack. I never once felt uneasy or unsafe once I stepped into the building.

Cardinal Spellman was my first choice of high school and I can't say that I regretted my decision. Here I made various friends who I hope to keep in touch with even after our rapidly approaching graduation. GO PILOTS!

It's not horrible, it's still school so I wouldn't consider it amazing. The food and people are nice. Teachers could loosen up a bit. Lots of activities to participate in but not much school spirit

I thought highly of this school because the teachers were kind and preparing. However, during my recent visit, I noticed significant issues. Many students were cheating, and they unfairly blamed hardworking students' poor scores for laziness. The curriculum didn't prepare students for the SAT/ACT, r...

I was a student here may years ago when it was considered a top school. It has graduated some extremely successful people (Supreme Court Justice Sonya Sotomayor and John Fahey, for example) and had a reputation for academic vigor unlike any other Catholic high school in the New York. That said, I kn...
