Mark Twain IS 239 for the Gifted and Talented

Best school ever. This Scholls can be a bit of a challenge,but what isnt. I am glad and proud that have been to this school. The teachers are awesome.

The school is AMAZING. I loved the talents and all the teachers. It's a great school if you want to focus on Art and Media, since we have shows where your art and pictures are shown. The only downside to this school is that there are LOTS of kids that develop attitudes in the Dance and Athletics talents. There are even a few teachers who teach NOTHING, but that rarely happens and only the talent teachers. If you love taking pictures, drawing, singing, math, science, dancing, and other things, I recommend this school for you.

I very much enjoyed my time at this school. The staff tends to be pretty good, the talent idea is great, and its pretty nice sometimes I'd have an talent class twice a day. Academically, by the time you are in the 7th grade, depending on your grade the year before, you either get quite advanced education with 2-3 regents by the time you graduate 8th grade, or you get pretty average education. ˆt all depends on if you did well in the 6th grade.

I graduated last year and this school is just a little above average. I still think (along with friends) that this school is a little too hyped up but as far the atmosphere goes, it is insane how they can keep it so clean and safe. the kids are 99% nice and very outgoing and the teachers are 8/10. I had a few teachers that did nothing in class and talked about their lives thinking that i cared and walked out of their classes with an easy 95 but other than those teachers, everyone else is very professional and cares about their kids. There are a few bitchy teachers but you have to learn to deal with them >.

This school is fine. Just fine. It's boring yes. Except Media and other talents and Mr.T. That's all. I am pretty much ok. There are good activities. And as far as learning goes, it is like you average middle school.
