High School For Environmental Studies Reviews

being in the honors academy i would say the education is pretty great. although we dont get to go out for lunch we can hang out in the student center or library instead. the library is that bad, they are actually rebuilding it. there are also alot of advanced classes that a student can take. in addition theres a lot of afterschool activities and internships.
great school :)

we dont get enough privileges in this school. it's like we're under constant watch from the teachers/deans. there's no freedom in the school. the library is probably one of the worse parts of the school. coming from a fairly new middle school, i was expecting a nicer library.
