The most sought-after of the city's selective schools, Stuyvesant High School has an amazingly talented student body and an array of course offerings that rival those of a small college. It has a sparkling, 10-story building with views of New York harbor and amenities such as a regulation-size swimming pool. Stuyvesant has long been known as a math-science school, but its English and social studies departments have improved significantly in recent years and now are among the school's strongest.
