What’s Special
Safe school for new immigrants
The Downside
Far from nearest subway
The Academy for Language and Technology High School, housed in a middle school, IS 303, offers new immigrants a safe, orderly environment and the chance to learn computer programming and maintenance.
Nearly every student graduates on time. Parents are pleased with the way teachers communicate with them, according to a Department of Education evaluation of the school. Students who need extra help have classes from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. and on Saturdays.
All of the students are Latino, and two-thirds are classified as English language learners. The school aims to teach students English while perfecting their Spanish.
Students may take classes in computer science or media communication. (Clara Hemphill, statistics and school website, July 2018)
