As for the education, it was above average. They didn't offer any advanced/honors class options and they didn't have a completely fixed schedule as you were to have different classes daily. For extracurricular activities they offered clubs, which given were better during post-pandemic rather than at the current moment. When it comes to the food, it was surprisingly amazing. They offered a buffet-style choice of food in which you could actually choose what you wanted to eat. Overall good school but definitely not worth the 2,000 USD+ monthly..

I survived 4 years in this place!?!?! You've got to be kidding me!…read more The year after I graduated, Sheepshead Bay High School was voted as the 6th most dangerous public school in all of New York City! The average daily occupancy for this school is approximately 2,800 to 3,000. This is assuming that no one skips on classes (which is highly unlikely). In the original planning of the school, the occupancy was meant for approximately 1,000. This is a classic case of maximizing absolutely surplus value (socialist term) amongst inner city schools. Here are my thoughts on my 4 year tenure at this education facility... Teachers: The faculty is highly trained and dedicated in educating and motivating the student consensus. Amongst the various subjects studied throughout Sheepshead (ie: European History, English, Law, Math, etc...), each of the teachers were stringent in the teaching of their subjects. I will take this moment to thank my former teachers, Mr. Trant, Mrs. Newman, Ms. Johnson, Ms. Kovat, Dr. Starr, Ms. Mathews, and many others that instilled in me the desire and importance of achievement in the classroom which ultimately translated to achievement in life. It is a rare breed to find teachers that will go above and beyond the call of their duties to educate and help their students understand the elements that make them successful. For this, the teachers of Sheepshead Bay High School are not to be taken lightly, but rather, Thanked for their courage and dedication. Students: The demographic of the student consensus is greatly diversified, thus representing the population that resides amongst the Sheepshead Bay community. Most students that attend Sheepshead are there not by choice, but rather by zoning mandates. The average tenure of a graduating student at Sheepshead is approximately 4.5 to 5 years. Facility: There's no denying that Sheepshead Bay High School is an extremely old facility. Although some renovations have occurred in such classrooms as the Mock Trail Court Room and Computer Labs, the general education classrooms still lack the updating that's long overdue. With increasing temperature indexes during the summer, air conditioning devices need to be installed in every class room. Environment: During my senior year, fights occurred on average of 5 times a school week. The fights are generally caused by deficiently performing students in a means of either gaining "respect" or attention. The students who are there to educate and better themselves generally avoid conflict situations. Overall the main deterrence in Sheepshead Bay High School's ability to ascend to the upper echelon of high schools in New York City is the inability of the student body to accept that humility, understanding, motivation, dedication, and goals are the five essential elements required to succeed. Until the student consensus has a drastic change in mentality from that of oppression to opportunity, the rigorous negative publicity of this education facility will continue. Despite the exceptional performance of the faculty in attempting to help students achieve, it is ultimate the student that needs to accept and be willing to succeed.

Ahhh! Good Shepherd! I spent my whole elementary school experience here from pre-K to 8th grade…read more I will brag that I was valedictorian of the Class of 1999! It was a killer speech; sorry you missed it! Good Shepherd School is also one of the few surviving Catholic co-ed schools within the Brooklyn area that is a teaching center for young Catholics that are wanting to continue with their faith even after graduation. The classrooms are usually filled with 15-23 children at any given time, and the classes have expanded to second languages (that of which I sadly didn't get a chance to take advantage of when I was attending) to music and much more. Catholic education IS expensive, but worth the investment for your children or grandchildren to instill in them the values of ethics, faith, and discipline.

I went to Saint Edmunds School for a class to be a lector at my church…read more The rectory and the school and church are beautiful. The school is Very Clean. It's 3 floors and the computer room is completely up to date and modern. It has a very old feel to it so many of the religious decorations are original but taken care of very well so they are in pristine condition. The gym is big and really pretty the floors shine there so clean. The school is coed and any students who have passed away there is artwork to memorialize them made by students. Everything seems to be in order and organized in the school I love it visually and I've met a few of the teachers and they are upbeat with a great sense of humor. It's in a very mixed neighborhood now of Chinese Russian and I saw Muslims. The rectory is so beautiful and so preserved it's an old house that's been so well cared for with a really big cross on top I love the architecture of Saint Edmunds school church and rectory and I love how unbelievably clean that they keep it.
