Stuyvesant High School Reviews
Rating 4.11 out of 5 1,190 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.
The overall environment is a little quick-paced but ultimately has pushed me to become my best self. The best part about Stuyvesant is that there are so many opportunities to involve yourself and discover your passions. There isn't necessarily a "worst" part, but an area where I think could use some improvement are the teachers. Across most subjects, there is always a teacher that a student should "watch out" for, generally because they are a bad (e.g. inefficient) teacher.
Pretty good school, not sure if it's worth all the praise. Not like I've gone to other high schools. Nothing I want to lament, though the lack of fun school events make it a pretty lackluster high school experience. I'd say it's worth your time, might be overbudget if you're low on time right now. It gets pretty stressful once you get going but it'll be heck to pay if you stop, so good luck.
