Stuyvesant High School Reviews
Rating 4.1 out of 5 1,184 reviews
Stuyvesant represents a solid experience in the public school system. Many people are proud and happy to be here, across varied positions, teachers, administrators, staff, counseling etc. A huge school that manages to foster a sense of community! The students are very competitive with themselves, but for the most part very supportive of each other. Any student can find their passion and their people here, but they need to look and be involved. Fosters independence; diverse socioeconomically; many interesting perspectives; academic rigor; incredible resources; excellent facilities. That being said, not for every student; still need to deal with DOE bureaucracy in a big place; a couple of teachers have checked out or can’t teach; mental health is not the best here. Aside from that overall, Stuyvesant is pretty much what you see is what you get. Lots of pressure junior year. Heavy workload. Little sleep. I would like to see more understanding and focus on mental health.
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.
