"The school isn't as much of a joke as everyone is making it out to be. It still has the lowest rate of drop out of non-specialized schools on the island. It is tempting and INCREDIBALY easy, and tempting to cut class, harass teachers, vandalize property, ect. and more than likely get away with it. However all that being said the school can offer some great well funded extracuricular programs and a decent environment for education. I myself barely graduated by the skin of my teeth due to the aformentioned temptations, but the school isn't really to blame. If there are any parents actually reading this in concideration on weather or not to send your teens to this school then you honestly should. But know that you do this at your own risk, watch for the warning signs, (they're given it out 3 times a semister) lol"

"I believe this school to be one of the top schools on the island. Every student has every oppertunity to succeed. There is tutoring every day for every subject, and the teaches will care about you if you show you care about work. On the other hand if you are a typical staten island teen you will get what you put in to it. It is extreamly easy to cut, but were ages 15 to 18 now i your kids can show a little responsibilty and stay for the 45 minute class. Tottenville is is great"

"As a student in the Humanities Institute, I have to say that I have not regretted attending Tottenville. The school takes pride in the Institute, though we do have a rigid schedule and not as many class opportunities as honors kids. However, high school is what you make of it. Don't make excuses for your children by claiming that th eteachers are lazy and the guidance counselers are always busy. With a school of four thousand students, it's handling itself pretty well. Your children have to go out of their way to go talk to teachers and guidance counselers. If the teachers and counselers don't know that something is wrong, they won't be able to seek out the kids. With so many students, it's impossible to be able to have one on one time with each and every one of them. Make use of the resources given to you."
