In most aspects, I am grateful for my education at the Bronx High School of Science. I feel very…read moreblessed to have enjoyed the benefits of the competitive environment. To this day, the institution's strong academic reputation is an asset to my resume. The school absolutely prepares you for college because Bronx Science kids are expected to meet incredibly high standards and deal with great demands. For all future students, take care to pack ONLY the necessities for school because it's a really long ride up if you don't live in the Bronx. Also, I recommend investing in a good computer scanner and lots of folders to stay organized for both academic as well as extracurricular ventures. This might be a little extreme, but retain the number of a reliable car service and carry emergency cab money on hand for safety's sake. Like the other reviewers, yes be careful of the students from DeWitt Clinton High School. They were never friendly and often acted in a hostile/threatening fashion whenever they encountered Bronx Science kids. I can't tell you how many times we had to deal with their racial slurs (because a majority of the student population come from an Asian-American background) and hatefulness.

I remember having to pitch to my parents the benefits of coming to school here. My father was like,…read more"why do you want to go to school in the Bronx again?" My nerd powers prevailed and I took the test and got in. Coming here was an interesting experience because although there were cliques and hierarchies, everyone was pretty smart and pretty focused on what they wanted to do with themselves. The only thing you had to watch out for were the creeps from DeWitt Clinton coming over and making a ruckus. I also remember Mr. Krutoy miming a worm on his desk, sitting outside in the hallways between classes listening to music with my bff (we lost touch when I left the country), skipping class in the nurses office and my first HS crush. The reason why this place get's an AOK was because the student body opted for using additional funds for a mural in the main lobby instead of renovating the gym and possibly getting a pool. Way to go geekwads.

The school is phenomenal and offers a comprehensive liberal arts education, as well as countless extra curricular activities and many sports opportunities.

Aquinas is based on academics nothing more nothing less, so you could imagine me and many others comparing it to other schools who had awesome trips, great teams, and even better atmosphere. Going into my senior year of college I can admit that those academics followed me enhancing my essay writing skills, typing (90 wpm depending on my anxiety), and organizational skills. Aquinas prepped me since sophomore year to start studying for my SAT's, now I've been studying for my GMAT's and Grad Schools applications because at the end of the day you gotta stay ahead of the curve. And with its academic nature I think this school is really competitive. I had a B average and was ranked rather low compared to the rest of the girls there. Bottom Line - You don't feel the value of this school and education until you need it, ex. College and onward.

How I was in school?...I didnt value about my education, it was mostly myself with a dose of environmental(home); distracted..Even with that being said, Aquinas prepares you for the reality of the business world. I had great jobs and opportunities that i really contribute to the skills and education i developed in Aquinas. It took years to enhance the love I now have for education, constantly reading/growing. Now im able to pass that on to my daughter who Ive homeschooled before starting elementary school herself. Also the classes that really pushed me and shaped my future were classes you would least expect such as history, religion, business(stocks) and computer(budgeting). Class 2002
