i dislike this school. too much drama and fights. everyone talks bout each other but then again which school isn't that way? i can say the teachers are very willing to help their students and stay after school to help you

the school is small, you have to walk up 5 flights of stairs and the uniform code is too much to handle. Though the teachers get involved, it's no fun. it's just boring. one of the lamest schools. you're better off going to the high school that's in the same building called teachers preparatory

I love this school I'm a tenth grader and I'm in so much extra activities, this school help you so much you can't say "i failed" in this school because the teacher and even my peers push you to do your best. I'm so happy to be apart of FDAV11

I go to FDA 7 and in my opinion it's great. Students actually learn something and there are high averages too. This is a nice school with many activities to partake in and there are also trips. It is a uniformed school however but few days are dressed down. I love my High school and I'm in the tenth grade.

FDA 7 is a tremendous school. It helps prepare kids for college and just the real world in general. Teachers value their jobs and take teaching your kids the right material very serious. They help to support you academically, emotionally, and mentally. Any student who has the pleasure of going to this school is one of the luckiest kids in NYC
