Science Skills Center High School Reviews

 
im a freshman in science skills center high school. my personal opinion is that if you know your a good student, you can try your best to make the school your in better. overall i think science skills is just low in resources and government funding. it's really not that dreadful. november 9, 2008

i am in science skills as a sophomore... i love the school... its a good school

I'm entering my 10th grade year at science skills center, its not the worse school ever but its not the best it can do better because its adding in more activities and getting new students. So there's hope yet.

I too am an alumni of science skills. I believe the curriculum and ambiance of the school was structured in a way so that education would be primary to all other things. Haven't checked on it as of late but it is was a terrific school at the time I was there. Although I was runner up for class clown of the classs of 2003, the school had some of its most memorable moments. I would recommend this school to any child who wants to further their learning process and maybe in the next few years, we alumni can get together and develop some programs that will bridge the gap between the current student and alumni.

I am a present freshman in this school, and i must say this school is like a home to me. The teachers treat you like family, and even though they go a lil over board with the homework assignments, they really care about you and your future. Also if your child wants to be a doctor or nurse, enter you child in the gateway program, its a great program to be in, and the trips are awesome!

I am a graduate of Science Skills Center High School 2003. I must disagree with the previous from a fellow alumni. I found my High School do be a very rewarding and exciting place to attend. Of course I to was in the Dance program I was apart of the Dance Company. Even though somedays in Skills as we call it are a little rough overall we all grow as kids into adulthood at this school. I definitely recommend the dance program mainlt because I love my Mama Dye-Asante. She taught alot about my technique and being apart of the dance company and being able to participate in things like Dance Africa with Baba Chuck Davis and meeting so many different wonderful people was a very uplifting experience for me. Now this isn't the only reason to attend this school it is also very structured to gear teens into the future.

This is a very great school. It may have some difficulties but it is great. I would suggest that your child goes into the dance program. Ms.Dye is a teacher who is very dedicated and she is actually one of the very few that actually cares. I should know, she help led my daughter Tanae to a victory in a world wide championship. Basically what im trying to say is that I would recommend this school to all new commers. May you be as lucky as my daughter was.

I don't think the school has enough extrcurricular activities for the students which means they have to be looking at other agencies for after school activities; Also the school is very poor in returning phone calls or even answering the main phone number, You're constantly getting disconnected or when a live person does pick up the phone, they transfer you to someone who is not at their desk and then when you leave a voice msg, gues what? NO one returns the call!

Hi, I'm a graduate of June 2006. I must say that this is a fairly poor school. If you want to see your children succeed do not send them here. There are a few teachers that actually care, including Ms. Dye, who is in control of the dance Department. Many of the good teachers have left to teach at better schools. If your child must come here, try to get him/her involved in the dance department. It's more organized then the school itself. It will definitely expand your child's horizon and keep them out of trouble. Trust me on that! - K. Wallace

The structured Extraccurricular activities were the only upside to going to Science Skills High. The teachers were always willing to help but the enviroment didn't allow for a lot of learning. THe Schoool is nowhere as structured as the Dance class or the track team. The principals have no control over the Super-seniors. Who usually disrupt the learning process for younger students .

this school is a very unorganized and hectic school.their gym is also an auditorium!very little parents are involved. but the teachers are great and commited.one guidanceis very lazy and uncooperative.wouldnt recommend this school.

how can a child succeed in an unorganized enviornment. my daughter has been steadily decling not only has her grades lowered but also her always positive outlook on education.my daughter has told of not being able to concentrate, because you have at least 50 students in a class and the teachers inability to control such a lage crowd of students.also how can the board of education allow at least 4 different high schools in one biulding, and have only two school safety officers patroling the halls.

This school is very hetic and unorganized, the facilities are poor but most of the teachers are great. I do not reccommend this school for anyone because of my unsatisfacation towards it.

This is my daughters second year in this school. The reason I came upon this parent review is because at this very moment I am looking for a school to transfer my child. She has dropped down from a 85-90 average to a now failing average in the two years she has been there. I myself have had serveral encounters with my child's guidance counselor, who is very lazy and seems to have no interest in my child's education. I was fighting tooth and nail to get my child to make up a class she had failed, and the teacher was very uncooperative. This was already told to me by my child, but I had to see it for myself. Looking at the schools profile I noticed a count of 19 students per class. My child is in classroom setting of 25 or more.

I am a student and there are a few teachers and one guidance counselor (Ms. Cammarata) that are really very good and wants to see us succeed. the former principal was absolutely no good, and the replacement, (acting principal)who has been in the school 'forever' is totally ineffective and weak. The students are out of control. Would not recommend.

A very good school

I had a guidance counselor who was very un-organized and much too over-whelmed; There was one guidance counselor for the whole senior class. This made my senior year in high school VERY hectic, especially since I was looking for a college to go to and I was applying. The majority of the teachers care about the students. The Principal WILL fight for the students. Mrs. Jackson, the Assistant Principal is the Best! (Graduated June, 2002)
