In 2018, this school had a bad name for some reason. However, as a senior, I definitely have had my problems with the school but could not see myself anywhere else. I have loved the academics, particularly History throughout the years. The one thing I have always disliked is the building. Everything about it is a fire hazard and in no way a school that should have both a middle school and high school.

The faculty isn't great. Not diverse . Minorities targeted by some administrators. Honestly all the kids do is juul in the bathroom & skip class. Teachers will pass students that shouldn't. The school is dirty.

Instead of taking regents during highschool, School of the future has a different curriculum consisting of exhibitions which are done 4 times throughout highschool.

I would NOT recommend this school for middle school or high school because their approach to academics is lackadaisical at best. Even though the school has some good teachers and the community is good,...

Although I will praise the school for its emphasis on academics, I have to point out that the middle school principal does a disservice to her students when she minimizes complaints of bullying at the school. Her attitude is "KIDS WILL BE KIDS" " IT IS A TOUGH WORLD OUT THERE SO THEY SHOULD GET USE...

Ok, SOF is what you make of it, if you are a parent right now thinking about where to send your child to high school read this before, and evaluate if your child would excel in this type of environment. To put it short SOF is like a small liberal privet school with a very diverse community and a NYC...
