Long known as a school with a strong humanities program and outstanding performing arts, MS 51 draws many of District 15's highest-achieving students. The pride of the school is its "talent" program. Students take four periods a week (usually two double periods) of visual art, photography, instrumental music, chorus, drama, dance, or Show Choir during their three years of middle school. Students by and large are well-mannered and enthusiastic, and classes buzz with purposeful conversation and activity. The school's very high attendance rate is one sign of how much students love MS 51.
