"I just want to know if this school is good or no I'm going the next year to thos school"

"I completely disagree with Naomi's post. This is a GREAT school! I have said numerous times if i had went to any other high school, i probably would not have graduated on time. If i started to fall off in classes or head in the direction of trouble, Ms.Schaffer, Ms.Michelena, Ms.Schneider and/or any of the other staff members, would pull me to the side and let me know i was doing wrong. They were more than happy to keep me on track, and I received more than extra help from teachers when i needed it. All of the school's staff was available to all students to talk to, or just listen. Ms.Schaeffer and Ms.Schneider ( who is no longer there ) especially. We were very close being that we were a small school. Yes of course we ( and i speak for multiple students ) joked and played around with the staff, but NEVER on a level of inappropriate sayings or behavior. We respected one another as adults and students. If staff members moved on from the school it was for their personal reasons. The school should not be held accountable for a money hungry teacher's actions, for a lawsuit. I've always had trouble with Global and U.S history, until i met Ms.Gentile. She taught me everything i needed to know, no matter how long it took. She went home and prepared practice exams for us to take in class, and anything else she could think of to help us. I passed my Global Regents with a 74 and U.S History regents with an 86 thanks to Ms.Gentile. This may be a school but the staff provides more than just education. Students who will remain nameless, have been provided with food, and/or clothes on their back by the school. There have been a time when the school provided finances for students to attend the senior trip who's parent(s) could not afford it. Ms. Michelena and Ms.Schaeffer makes sure EVERYONE is cared for. What people who are not in Ms. Michelena's shoes have to realize is, she has a school to run. Its not an easy job but from the outside looking in people don"t take that into consideration. From my experience being at The High School For Innovation In Advertising And Media, lets just say i'd do it all over again with no hesitation."
