This school deserves to be looked at. Parents do your research and check it out. Best in the district for educating the whole child. Caring, safe , environment. Small classes, choices for clubs, opportunity for sports, character education, and students to go to choice high schools after graduation- mine went to Leon Goldstein, and some others are going to Laguardia and Tech. If you rule it out based on rumors or non researched based websites, your child loses .
