Attended from 99-00.' Most of the kids I went to school with came from broken homes and had behavioral problems. Many of them would go from there to Bergen Pines (Bergen Regional Medical Center) or the now closed juvenile hall down the street, and back to school. Had no library except a bookshelf with a few books on it in the computer lab, something only found in third-world schools. There were drugs and prostitution. What they taught was of little value, and could be learned on the job or needed no prior experience at all such as being a warehouse worker or working at their food store (they had a mock Shoprite in the school.) Why waste taxpayer' money to teach a kid how to work at a food store or box things in a warehouse when you need no prior experience to get a job like that? It seems like a bureaucratic waste of money. They made me wait an entire year before transferring me back to my public school, even though I voiced my issues within the first few weeks of the school year. The curriculum was below par, when I did transfer back to my public school I was held back, even though I got good grades. On a plus side, there were many great teachers in this school who could have gotten a job in a nice public school with few of the problems present here, but who chose to work here to serve as a mentor to kids who had no one else to look up to. For that, 5 stars.
