Sunset Park High School

"My experience as a student at Sunset Park High School has been pretty good overall. Teachers try to understand students as best as they can and they really care about our ideas. The work we get may be a bit challenging but it's a better way for us to learn instead of being babied all our life. Students who complain about their grades are usually the ones who still want the teacher to hold their hand. I feel like the teachers really do try to prepare us for college, and they should be respected more than they really are. I'm no perfect student but I respect my teachers and try my best, and I believe SPHS is a way better school than what people think it is."

"As a Junior there at the school, I believe that the school has good potential in teaching students how to perform better. However, It's all gone to waste in certain things we dont need for things like certain afterschool activities and what not. And really all we do is just something similar to boot camp. You walk in, work very hard for the regents and lessons that will later be useless in life. Sadly that's really it. What makes it worst is that a huge majority of the students there can really care less about literally anything that is being said to them. I'm saying this by what I have witnessed and what I have expierenced. If the teachers and staff there actually gave a damn about the students they're teaching then yes i believe the school has a better future ahead of them. In the mean time, If you want to be apart of the school, Just keep your expectations of "Great learning and success" at a minimum."

"I am a current Senior that attends Sunset Park High School and from my past 4 years in this school, it's safe to say that I will miss this school after June. This school has helped me grow as an individual and citizen of the community. The school really cares about student voice. I am part of the National Honor Society, School Leadership Team, Student Leadership Team, Captain of the PSAL Badminton Boys Varsity Team, Manager of the PSAL Boys and Girls Basketball, Softball, and Baseball Teams and much more. This school gives you the opportunity to lead clubs. You can take college courses as a high school student. We just got NEW AP courses. Every year we get new sports teams. This year it was Soccer Girls JV, Baseball Boys Varsity, and Wrestling Boys Varsity. I feel very safe while in school. Teachers would give me the support I need and always available for tutoring. They are very welcoming! This school is slowly expanding and no doubt will be one of the best schools in NYC in the years to come. I recommend this school to any student."

"Teachers are very supportive. There are always security guards making sure students are safe. This is a brand new building as well. Excellent school for anybody."

"Students receive personalized help, whenever they need it. They also have the opportunity to be involved in honor societies like ARISTA and extra courses in Brooklyn College. This school has 3 communities: Arts, Health and Business community. The communities are divided in 3 floors but students have the chance to see each other in after school activities like Soccer, Basketball, Vocal Troop, Theater, Sunset Leaders, Softball and many others. But if you don't like to spend too much time in school, Sunset is not for you because students are dismissed at 3:21 pm, unlike other high schools."
