One of the best school in New York. Everyone would hope to hope their kids in such a school. Education and discipline code are the best and kids act professionally and very respectful.

I like the school because they have a routine and fix rule for all. If anything happens they make sure they take care of the problem right away and call all parents to inform them of the issue.

The school is terrible because you can't even wear ear rings and girls look like boys in skirts.
