Personally, I believe McNair to be the best school of the 5 Jersey City Public Schools. The classes may be hard, but they are rewarding, some students have graduated from McNair with enough college credit to enter Rutgers New Brunswick as a junior.
A common story heard over the United States is the lack of funding schools recieve, the same applies to McNair. Located in Jersey City, a poor urban area, the school's budget was once again cut while the number of incoming freshmen increase. However, McNair makes the best of it and continues to do its best to provide all students with the best quality education that all students deserve. Walking around McNair, you may hear conversations about Da Vinci or Shakespeare, the recent election or stem cell research, college search and career choices, the latest songs, tv shows, or movies, the Girl's Volleyball game after school or the Model UN meeting. The variety of topics discussed in McNair range from intellectual debates to friendly conversations. McNair students have many interests but never forget to enjoy life.
