Stuyvesant High School Reviews
Rating 4.1 out of 5 1,182 reviews
With a legacy of producing some of the brightest minds, Stuyvesant High School attracts students seeking intellectual challenges. However, beneath its esteemed facade lies a reality where many students find themselves grappling to keep pace with the demanding curriculum. The fast-paced nature of instruction often necessitates extensive self-study to truly grasp complex concepts. Despite its reputation, many Stuyvesant graduates find themselves inadequately prepared for the rigors of university education. Surprisingly, some argue that students attending regular high schools might have better chances at university admissions due to the holistic educational approach these schools often adopt.
Since most students at Stuyvesant are academically inclined, it's an environment where every student enjoys learning, which helps with your own education. The downside of that is the inherent competition in an environment like that, where students constantly compare grades. It can be frustrating, especially for people who aren't naturally competitive. That would be the one area I would like to see change in. Otherwise, my experience at Stuyvesant was amazing, from great friends to teachers and after-school activities.
Stuyvesant is a big high school with many students and extracurricular opportunities. In my experience, the teachers are amazing and would connect with students on a daily basis. Of course, there are a few teachers who aren’t the best, but no school have all-perfect teachers. We also have many guidance and college counselors that offer help whenever needed. My experience at Stuyvesant High School is one of the most memorable.
