NEST+m

I've been reading the postings and I'm shocked to hear this school has transformed from a place of doom, to something positive. I often like to survey the terrain of my life and see if changes occurred in old places. I attended this school when it was called, J.H.S 22- Straubenmuller. My grade advisor's advice at that time said to me ; " Why do you like art? Don't you like to fix cars? All the boys like to fix cars? So I had placement to attend a Vocational H.S. So, I now can see, this perspective, to send children to a "Work Camp" to experience all their lives, has ended. It took me years to undue this severely, defective perspective. At the age of 33, I was fortunate enough to receive a Stipend Scholarship to attend NYU Medical Center. A perspective from a Puerto Rican descendant: You can delay a "Mind" from fully developing, but you can't stop a "Mind" from fully realizing it's potential.

I AM GOING TO THIS SCHOOL THIS YEAR. GOOD LUCK WHOEVER GOT IN SEE U THERE.
HEARD ITS REALLY GODD BECAUSE IT IS A GIFTED AND TALENTED SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!11

I'm goin there this year!!!!! I wish me luck!!! And it sounds like an awesome school especially becuz it has science and math!

When I went here the principal, Celenia Chevere ran a dictatorship where students and teachers would cower and shake at the sound of her heels clicking slowly, menacingly down the hallway. I've heard it's changed

I think NEST+m is honestly, overall, a great school to attend. As a 13-Year student beginning from founding year of 2001, an experience only a small group of students have had, I think I know whether or not it is a good school.
As a child of a disabililty, my needs were exceedingly met at an early age, fostering the so called "advanced education," NEST provides. I would say it was the result of NEST Staff that allowed me to become extremely confident and dedicated to my education.

NEST actively fosters initiatives like new clubs and events, most of which are having students lead the way, from sports, educational and general clubs. In my experience, it has to be one of the most crucial qualities about the school. Personally, NEST has been very generous to the clubs I am part of and we totalled over $2000+ of funding in necessary pursuit of student and science education. Granted, I wish the administration could be more encouraging of student pursuits as I had to really push for what I wanted, but nontheless I do have full support and the magic DOES happen.
NEST consistantly puts out intelligent and confident students whom are, in no doubt, ready to take on the world. I think any child will find their place and if not already, become more comfortable with who they are and their goals in life while at NEST.
