The Spectator is a student run newspaper that is truly student run - perhaps even better than many college newspapers.

“Stuyvesant was - and still is - the 'Harvard' of the NYC public school system and it is much harder to get admitted to Stuy then it is to Harvard. Still love it for its great students, of which quite a few are still interested in pursuing careers in the sciences, medicine and technology, and of course its storied history as being the 'incubator' of some of the finest minds and creative talents in American history and culture for well over a hundred years.”

“Stuyvesant is the best thing in the entire New York City public school system because it provides students who wouldn't otherwise be at top high schools, because of economic means, the chance to compete with those who are and learn just as much. I am currently at Harvard University and miss Stuyvesant very much and will be eternally thankful to Stuy for getting me where I am now. If it is unable to support itself financial in future years, it will be a devastating loss for New York.”

“Stuyvesant is a prestigious high school, but at the same time it is fun. There is a variety of classes, but I would love to see many more electives of math, science, history, and especially English. Even though there is a lot of homework and every student must work hard to get good grades, the teachers are nice and helpful, and the student community is very kind. I always know where to go to get help, and I love Stuyvesant!”

“A hothouse for hard-working, motivated students who thrive on challenges. A school where it's cool to be brainy and the superstars are top students. Lots of great teachers. Cons: badly overcrowded, large class sizes, students obsess about grades and scores, culture of cheating, admission solely by one test, few black students make it in indicative of chronic academic disadvantage over years. To succeed in this highly competitive environment, students must be self-motivated, disciplined and well-organized. Great preparation for competitive colleges! Curriculum could use updating in some depts. and some academic rules are counter-productive.”

“Stuyvesant High School is considered to be the most prestigious high school in NY and one of the best in the US. Being a student there, I can say that Stuy is truly a great school. The facilities are so nice and the building is clean and organized. All of the teachers are so kind and although some of the work may be intimidating, we learn so much by the end of the day. Homework may seem like a lot, but its a decent amount that will really help us review what we've learned. Socially, it's impossible not to make friends at Stuy, being there are about 3400 students currently attending it. Everyone is so friendly and the first day of school I made about 20 friends. Stuy also offers hundreds of clubs and sports teams which can satisfy anyone's interests. So overall, Stuy is awesome and totally deserves this prize.”

“This is the best school ever. Amazing school that literally puts the college experience into a high school setting. Students here do not want to leave the school at all and are found around the clock on campus. With an amazing amount of extracurriculars, the community is tightly knit. The academics are top notch since it's a specialized high school. The teachers are passionate about their work; they love the subjects that they teach. They will go above and beyond the call of duty to help students in need. Classes provide an unique experience that resembles the experience one has in college classes. The students here love working and are competitive. Grades are amazingly high. SATs are considered laughable; a grade below 2000 is considered a flop. Quite a large percentage of the student body end up in big name schools like Harvard, MIT, Yale, and Brown to name a few. However, although we are some of the biggest 'nerds' of all time, we know how to party. Rarely does one see a senior student conga line in their school go around and greet all 10 floors of out school. Rarely does one see the innumerable events students host on their own time. And rarely does one see such an amazing principal: Stanley Teitel. He is not just a principal, but a friend that students adore. Students are not afraid of him - we conside him as a friend and mentor. As the leader of the greatest school in the world, Stanley Teitel surely deserves something in return.”

“Stuyvesant was an exceptional school far more advanced than most I've seen. With a multitude of class offerings from potery and robotics to multivariant calculus and human disease, I received an unparalleled education. The state of the art facility in Lower Manhattan also allowed for a miriad of after school possibilities, other than extracirriculars at school, such as exploration of Chinatown and Bowling Green, or just playing handball in Battery Park. With that being said, Stuyvesant H.S. was the greatest and no other can compare. STUY '06!”

Perhaps the most rewarding thing about Stuy is the environment - students want to learn and are willing to work, and because of that Stuyvesant does amazing things that are apparent from the Math team to the Fencing team.

They bring the best of both worlds, with history and English departments as rich and successful as their science and math departments. Some of the best learning takes place at this school--they have amazing teachers and amazing students.

The staff were all veritable experts in the classes they taught, especially for Advanced Placement courses, of which Stuyvesant had the highest number offered compared to any other public high school. The student body is also a lot more serious about education, but there's still a lot of fun to be had in and out of class.

“I owe a lot to Stuyvesant. At Stuy, I really matured a lot. I took classes with great teachers, studied with some of New York's best and brightest kids, gained leadership skills working with ARISTA (the Stuy chapter of the National Honor Society) and other service organizations, and became a better person in general. Although some regard Stuy as having a sink-or-swim attitude, I found this was really not the case. Stuy's support system is great and the guidance department was great. Teachers also took the extra steps to make sure their students learned, but had a good time doing it, including addressing personal issues. Although I am now a sophomore at Dartmouth where I am very happy to be at, I miss Stuyvesant and wish that I could have soaked in more of what it offered, despite being busy almost everyday with school work, extracurricular activities, and the like. If I were given the chance to have the Stuy experience all over again, I'd take it in a heartbeat. Really, I owe a lot to Stuy and just cannot thank the school enough.”

“Stuyvesant is supposedly a math and science school, but the English department is what really makes going there worth it. Each teacher has their own style and biases but they're all focused on helping you appreciate the material the same way that they do and letting the differences that eventually arise spark discussion, whether it's between students or the teacher and the class.”

Our beautiful school building overlooks the Hudson River and allows for a spectacular view of New York City. Inside our school building is equally as beautiful with ten floors, each oriented to a particular subject. Students are popular for being academically well-rounded rather than being the best dressed or most attractive. Stuyvesant High School has an amazing community and I'm happy to be part of it.”

I love that my former school understands that its students have so much potential do great things in life and have proved so; therefore they do everything they can to try to get opportunities and to make us well-rounded kids whereas other schools tend to waste money and put it towards things like construction (which ends being unfinished anyway)instead of trying to improve the quality and availiability of opportunities for their kids. My experience at Stuy had its good and bad, ups and downs, probably like any other student, but I think I speak for many other alumni when I say that we couldn't have been who we are today without the Stuy experience.”

My school really does prepare its students for the college application process from freshman year. They make sure we take challenging classes and all of the faculty really know what they're talking about. I also love the atmosphere at my high school. There is no fighting and a thirst for knowledge is encouraged. No one is belittled for caring about their grades. In fact, we all care about our grades. We are there for our friends. If there is anyone we don't get along with, we just avoid them. We don't start a fight with them the way many students in other schools do. No one brings weapons to school, so I always feel safe.”

Students at Stuyvesant aren't afraid to be active in class and be involved. Many of them are extremely intelligent and gifted, and it was a blessing to be in that sort of environment. The administration, however, is not always understanding to student needs.”

“Wonderful. period. My son attends this school after he tranferred from an NYC boys' school so he could focus more on the sceinces and technology. This school is amazing. The SATs are higher then that of his former boys' school and my young daughter's girls' school. Stuyvesent has great extracurriculars and, for a sciences school, has an exceptional music & drama program. Athletics are not close to being strong except the school's high academic standards make up fore that. My only complain is the classes are large ranging from 30 to 35, whereas my son's former school had 12 students to a class---it's a little struggle except all good since the nationally high SAT average score at Stuyvesent shows that the large classes don't really have an effect at all. Shows that some public education is top-tier, and this is comming from a NYC private girls' school graduate.”

“Academics are top notch and students are selected via the specialized school placement test. This institution is truly a testament to the American dream. Electives are numerous in all areas. Standard English courses were a little weak on reading content as might be expected for a math/science school, but not 'bad' by any means. Starting new extracurriculars was possible, but I had to strongly motivate my club's co-founders to cut through the red tape for funding. At least everyone's eager to put the money to good use, which is nice. Enrollment in AP courses is competitive, and college admissions are made more difficult by being alongside such a high achieving clientele. Overall, a great experience, but parental support is necessary to help your child cope with the extremely rigorous curriculum.”

“The academics are unsurpassed at Stuyvesant High School. The facilities are newer than most, a plethora of extracurriculars are available, and there is a good cross-section of students from all walks of life with one thing in common: intelligence. Students are required to take an entrance exam for admission to this public school, where many forgo lunch periods in order to fit addtional science or music classes into their schedules. There is a high level of parent involvement, and the PTA is a driving force within the school.”

“Something that may not be clear about Stuyvesant or any of the NYC Sci-Hi schools is that these schools represent the best gathering of intelligent teenagers who could or would not attend private school. There are excellent teachers in all, especially Stuyvesant, but ultimately it's not the teachers or the amenities of these schools that make them such great places. It's the kids themselves, rubbing shoulders, shedding their big-fish-small-pond mindsets from whatever other public school they came from. In some sense, these schools sit on their laurels because the hard part's already been instilled in the students. They're nearly all competitive, either naturally so or bullied into it by their parents, or their natural intelligence lets them glide through. These schools are ideal havens of learning, but they're much harder for the undisciplined. Parents are obliged to push your kids if they've had too easy of a time until now.”

A full complement of music, drama, and sports are available for participation by the students, as well as a number of student clubs. The quality of the students makes the difference at this school, as they tend to be a highly motivated group. Kids who are not as motivated (regardless of how intelligent) will likely not do well at Stuy. The approach is more like 'sink or swim' than anything else.
