"This school is living proof that education is going down the drain. I'm surprised by the number of positive reviews, but maybe times have changed since I graduated here in 2003 and perhaps they got a better administration in. Anyways, Let's start from the exterior/interior which I can't really complain much about since they are trying to keep the place somewhat less prison-like looking than the high school I went to. The bathrooms though? Yes there basically is only one bathroom for each gender and I can't speak for the girls' bathroom but the boys' bathroom is constantly clogged and its stalls are broken and it does not look like anyone takes care of it. Also since most kids act like savage animals, that restroom really isn't safe. Speaking of safety, there's the thing that this school neglects. Teachers and deans act borderline hostile towards anyone who complains not just about being bullied, but about being physically hurt, but boy do they love breaking up fights. A few times that I dared to hit back, the dean (Mr. Arfin, who I hope to God does not work there anymore) threatened to call the police on me and put me in juvinile hall, while he said absolutely nothing to the offender. I have also heard from others and experienced it myself, the hostile behavior of teachers and administration towards foreign kids (I even on more than one occasion remember a teacher openly using racial slurs to refer to certain foreign kids). The deans and teachers "defended their own" and encouraged the bullies to "stick it to the foreigners". I also have experienced a teacher talking to a parent of one kid who was accused of bullying some other kid, and she referred to the kid as "mentally challenged" even though he wasn't. Basically there are lots of racist tendencies and behaviors on the parts of teachers and administration. Not to mention, kids are marched to and from class like pigs. Almost forgot to mention the cafeteria. During the lunch period, you were only allowed to sit with your own class and you were not allowed to pick up lunch until your class was called, which means if your class was called last, by the time you got to where you pick up your prison food, they'd be out of almost everything. So in conclusion, just send your child to catholic school if you don't want them to end up in therapy."

"I used to go to this school and the teachers treat the students like they don't care about them I have HEARD the teachers say that this was a waste of their live. Many kids get sick and the nurse doesn't even do anything about it. Also the teachers ARE ALL DAY ON THEIR PHONES........"

"I love this school it is amazing the teachers are awesome ps bay academy is not better than this school its a myth."
