It is my place, filled with my people. I think what I loved the most was the integration of music into the daily life. More than any other school I know, music feels like the main event of your day. As opposed to music classes being sprinkled throughout the day, with academic classes, they have a separate block, at the end of the day, making the classes feel important. My least favorite part of this school is the size. It's not really the fault of the school, but after three and a half years, the small numbers are very apparent to me....

The principal is responsive and attentive to your concerns if you have any. Ms. Santana, Ms. Voss, Ms. PALMERI (my fav), Ms. Reyes, Mr. Nac (all the kids fav), Ms. Scott, Ms. Nolan, Mr. Freund, Ms.Blank and Ms. Rollins deserve honorable mention as they have taught well and demanded that their students give out what they as teachers put in. From Pandemic lessons, to lunch time extra help. Ms. Reyes, Ms. Nolan, and Ms. Blank literally got my children up to speed from being tremendously behind from a lack luster teacher (Ms. Ertz needs to go), these teachers give it all. I can not say it is a perfect school, but what school is. Also kids have issues, but I can not say bullying or feeling unsafe is one of them based on my experience with my children there.

It focuses on preparing young women for college readiness and success in STEM fields. I feel fortunate to be in this environment as it has opened doors to many opportunities that were not originally available to me. The school takes into account the financial and opportunity difficulties faced by its students and provides ways to assist them. However, our school is based in a small building that is shared with another school. This limits the amount of space we have available, which in turn restricts the range of activities we can offer.

They are very new to the middle school part, and don’t have many clubs or activity, but is an overall good school. The food is average like any other school but the teacher are there for you when needed. I suggest rolling your child into the school during elementary school so they become used to the students around them. I went in for middle school and had a lot of trouble find people who want to be my friend since I wasn’t someone they knew when they were babies, which left me being uncomfortable until my last year when they started to open up to me.
