Stuyvesant High School

I'm an alumna. I think of gaining acceptance into Stuy as one of my most significant achievements. The standards and academic competition are such as to bring out the best in us. The result of our time in Stuy is the finest preparation for college achievement and, for that matter, for highest caliber life achievement. You are inspired and personally challenged, life long, to complete whatever projects you start with impeccable greater-than-expected end results. Congrats to students and faculty.

Stuyvesant High School class of '79. The years I spent there were really amazing, and seem to get more so with each passing year. If you are a motivated student, there is no limit to what you can achieve here. A middle of the road student can get a great education - middle of the road for Stuyvesant is pretty much at the top of the class for most the schools. If you can get in, take advantage of it.

Challenging, intense and completely worth it. Take it from someone who went there. Just try your best while you're there and don't stress. You'll be surrounded by a ton of smart people so make to most of it and contribute; there are plenty of things to do there. Trust me... get involved, stay for things after school, and take challenging classes (don't take the bare min, even though that's more than other schools). Do that and college will be a breeze.

The people at Stuyvesant are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Yes, they give a lot of homework. However, the homework is one thing that brings the students together. The teachers love what they do, and they're really interesting. There are so many clubs!

Possibly the best high school in all of New York. The teachers are amazing, but that's not what makes it magical. This school has over 150 clubs, so there is something for everyone. Our robotics team makes it to championships almost every year. Our hallways are lined with trophies from the robotics, sciolimpiad, speach and debate, and other teams. Actually, we are running out of space for our trophies.

Stuyvesant High School has been an amazing and life-changing experience! The teachers there are friendly and try to help students in every way possible. In addition, there are over 100 clubs for students to join and actively participate in, ranging from Key Club, Rave, Robotics, and even Mah Jong! The culture at Stuyvesant is truly wonderful and anyone can fit right in once you attend this school.

It's a rather good school, but it isn't for everyone. The thing is that it is rather competitive, but for me it's not too bad. The thing that takes the cake for me is the robotics team. Too much fun has been had on the team, it's great.

If your child is lucky enough to get in - send them. It's a great location and the education is top-notch. I got in, but didn't end up going. I stayed at Trinity - great education, but a huge price tag for my parents.
