I remember hearing the idiomatic phrase "cream of the crop" for the first time in my life, and it was used by then principal Madeline Brennan to describe the freshman class. Ms. Brennan was the longest serving principal in New York History, and rarely failed to mention she became principal before the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge was completed. I don't remember seeing any of the usual social hierarchy tropes movies make you expect of middle school. Everyone existed in various shades of nerd. You had your band nerds (of which my trumpet playing self was a proud member), your drama nerds, and of course, your handball nerds. It was a good place to come of age, if such a place can exist. I can still recite the school song by heart: Cheer, cheer for old Dyker Heights Ours is the school of bright shining lights All our boys and all our girls, strive for, fight for all that's right! What though the odds be great or small Our boys and girls will win over all And we'll sing her praises Marching onward to victory

Another suggestion: Please make the schedule a little better by changing class in 5 minutes instead of 1 minute. That is so fast and there is no way to change that quick. Thank you and hope you change it as soon as possible. My teachers choose me as "student of the month" which is nice to me because my parents will be happy to see that. Last suggestion: When you do report card, please average it correctly. I had found that my real average for the report card is higher than the one that is written from the teachers. I am not mad, I want you guys to tell the truth. If you listen, then people will get happier and more excited by seeing this. For example, I got 85,85,85,90,96,97,98 on my report card. The regular average is 90.85714285714...and instead of that, they put 90.83. By .03 point is a little quite a difference. I would like you guys to follow my suggestion so you guys will make me happy. See you guys in September.

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.
