Good school for work an career but to many test, a lot if high expectations, unfair tests, sometimes the school isn't responsible and has trouble giving people the right Intrusctuions as in time of when to come for regents and different activities
It’s my first year at this school so far I love it everyone is nice and in the first day of school as a freshman many teacher and staff helped me find my classes
