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.

The counseling department was not great, but there was one star counselor that I really loved and got me through high school.

I really enjoyed my time at the High School. I think the best thing about it was the Early College Experience that students get at Hunter College.

Unsupportive teachers. Excessive homework.Poor school/life balance. Would not recommend unless your child wants to devote 100% of their time to school. Expect minimum 3 hrs homework a night, plus extra homework on weekends. My kid says their teachers don’t care, feel like they cannot approach them....

Good school. Grades and graduation rates are high, teachers definitely want to help you. I'd suggest coming here if you are quiet and or would enjoy extra help from teachers. The best part is a free 4 years at hunter college if you get a 80 or above average. It's something good to have just in case....
