I am a former student. The students are divided by floor and grades. You have 02’s and 03’s along with special education on the third floor while 01’s and 21’s are on the 2nd floor. Example 601, 701, and 801 this are kids who were rankled smarter than the rest of the students. 602, 702, and 802 are students who were ranked in the in between. 603, 703, and 803 are students who were considered “challenged”. 621, 721, and 821 are bilingual students then there is special education.The student on the second floor(01’s and 21’s) receive way better treatment than the ones on the third floor(02’s and 03’s). they are given better opportunities they do more activities go on better trips(travel)and actually get to enjoy their middle school experience. While the students on the third floor are looked down on and treated as if they are not smart enough. They get trips to go see broadway shows once in a while and get to go on the senior trip if they are one. They schools does the bare minimum to prevent and help with bullying. They were fights almost everyday when I was a student. Staff members will literally instigate and fuel problems between students. Teachers will embarrass students by discussing their personal problems from home with other teacher or usually in-front of the entire class as a way to show some type of dominance. Students who are in danger of being attacked or jumped by other students will usually get in trouble instead of being protected. Worst middle school experience ever.

I really like this school but they don't not have extra coricilar activities for girls like cheer leading or gymnastics they only play one main sport like kick. Ball there should be a variety of sports for girls which there is not.also there are no language classes and all students should be able to attend different classes such as art and things .this school would be much better like that.

This is a great school. Parents and students are happy to stay in, and they are appreciated. This school has 4 years taking A, and its learning environment tells how the community appreciate this school. This school is in the Bronx and serve very poor people but is a successful school not matter the poor neighborhood.
