I graduated from this school and id like to say that its not really a bad school yeah its ghetto or it was before but not as much now because ever since i graduated and i pass by my school i don't see any kids in the corners or in the parks when before the kids would hang out there till like 4 when we came out at 2:30 so don't listen to what others say about this school being bad because its not. you'll have so much fun and also if your in honors you'll be able to take the regents as in like algebra,biology, and us history and maybe even the Spanish regents as a foreign language like i did. Taking the regents was the best thing i ever did in my life and im so happy i was able to and given the opportunity because from what i heard of not that many other middle schools give the regents or at least the ones that were mentioned above. So this would be one reason out of many other reasons to why 61 is a good school.
And spirit week is so fun one of the things i miss the most of this school besides my wonderful lunch ladies seriously their so nice . Make sure you go to yale academy because its the best oh and if you end up being in honors and taking the history regents try to beat Mr. Thomas class average you'll probably wont cause he's the best there is no lie and my class did amazing so it'll probably be a while till someone gets a higher grade as us but yeah good luck.
And i just so you guys know i didn't pay any attention to grammar whats so ever now like i said before good luck Just one more thing high school rocks and...

Read moreI began my two years at this school. I thought to myself what lies ahead of me. Suddenly the school was divided into these academy gig I didn't know. I was in the Princeton academy which was my fun and crazy moments. One thing I didn't like is the dress codes. That was a royal pain. On top of that, Princeton academy was a nightmare. One time, during lunch break, an unexpected food fight happen out of no where. To be honest, the academy I was in was annoying. We end up getting in trouble. But besides that, all the other academies get along with us Princeton. The teachers are the best and understanding. I felt like I was home with all my dearest friends and teachers. Sadly I left when I graduated in 2008. It hurts to leave the school, but it brings me back amazing and unforgettable...
