    We feel so lucky to be part of the SSKCA community! There is a holistic approach to education - not…read moreonly is the curriculum challenging but there is a concentration on values, faith and a variety of extra curricular activities to choose from. My children are not only educated but are happy and enthusiastic to go to school!

    Being the only catholic school in the region, comparisons become difficult. An independent review,…read morestanding from an educational perspective alone would not be reasonable either. An elite private school this is not. However the tuition is beyond reasonable, and a downright steal if you have more than 3 children in attendance. What applies to most if not all catholic schools also applies here. Uniforms required, fundraisers necessary, and catholic holy days and holidays the school is closed. Where this school truly stands out is with acceptance age. They will accept 2 year olds for a full day (8-2pm) as long as they will be three by December. Pre-k 3 is unique to this area, as daycares, not schools, usually service that age range. Also worth noting is the availability of the principal. Not only is she accessible, but intimately involved with most if not all school functions. hands down, great to see! The school itself is very clean, and has many activities available to its students. The staff is very friendly and appear to enjoy what they do. For those who ARE catholics, it is also nice knowing that your children will be learning their prayers and attending mass on occasion, while in school. I feel blessed to be able to leave my 2 year old in the hands of such a caring teacher and structured organization. So far so good...hope its this easy when my child enters college!

    This high school offers students the opportunity to pursue a career as an Aircraft Maintenance…read moreTechnician in the aviation field. Although some staff members have a poor attitude, the teachers work hard to help their students succeed. A significant issue is funding; the school appears to lack adequate support from the Department of Education, which forces students to cover expenses out of pocket. If you are an incoming freshman or a parent considering this school for your child, I would recommend it if your child is interested in working on a variety of aircraft. This is a great place for them to develop those skills.

    excellent high school for technical career minded kids…read more i just didn't give a shit during HS because i didn't give two shits for anything during HS. Hardly any girls when I use to go there. Heard it got better. But during my days there, had to go to different high schools or malls to try to get girls. Study hard and potential to make shit ton of money out of this high school is definitely there. My Pakistani friend who stayed for 5th year to get extra license, went onto Vaughn college, and then use his Aviation degree + Aviation Powerplant/Airframe licenses along with his Vaughn College Engineering degree and is now making 80-90K a year for JetBlue. I regret not giving a shit back in HS. But I'm not exactly "I must make a lot of money" type of person. There's more to life than just money. But if you don't have this mindset, then study and I mean really study in this high school. Don't touch any of the Aviation girls. Each one goes through about 15 boyfriends a school year and you can get the herps just by even exchanging words with any of them. One of the best high schools in Queens in terms of prestige and the quality of the teachers (both academic and shop teachers). I still think about some of my favorite teachers from that school time to time, such as the late Mr. Colleti, Lazar, Serena, Marianna, etc.

    One of my kids is now at BHSEC Queens; the other graduated from BHSEC Manhattan a few years ago. (I…read moreapologize in advance for any overlap in my reviews.) Bard Queens is the second of its kind, a public high school with an accelerated program that takes 2 years to complete. The second two years are for college-level work (and, indeed, kids graduate after 4 years total with both a HS diploma and an A.A. degree from Bard College). Those 2 years of college credits can be transferred to some 4-year colleges, giving kids who want it a huge savings in both time and money. Kids have to take a placement exam (not the SHSAT) to qualify, but even if you do well, it's hard to say whether BHSEC Queens is for you. It's a small school, and sports are not a huge part of the culture here. It's in an unlovely part of LIC, close to Laguardia Community College and various subway lines but not much else. Writing is very important; you don't have to be a great writer at 14, but you should probably be open to improving in this area. Those are the caveats. The benefits of this school are enormous. The quality of the faculty is extraordinary: Most have PhD's, and they are devoted to teaching teenagers, constantly available to meet with them and provide extra help. The administration is terrific, and the office well run. The building is modern, well kept, and light-filled. The student body is quite diverse and active in a variety of clubs and activities. College counseling is just beginning for my child's class, but things seem pretty organized. The classes are small and most are seminar-style. Lots of discussion, lots of back-and-forth in the classroom, lots of writing (see above). Expectations are high; you're expected to work hard and be intellectually curious. If you want big lectures, multiple-choice tests, and anonymity--forget it. The BHSEC model has expanded to Newark, Cleveland, and New Orleans. Clearly, there's a demand for accelerated HS education. For the right kid, these schools will be life-changing. As with any educational choice, the key is to know yourself.

    Do not do it, do not do it, do not do it! Weak upper…read morefaculty, disinterested parental/school interaction. School prepared to do anything for ratings at the expense of the students education, well being or personal safety. I wish I had sent my child anywhere but here. Huge, Huge disappointment for my child's education.
