Francis lewis high school Reviews

the school suks... but the boys ther got dat loud.. used to smoke od blunts here

Honestly this school helped me through so much my guidance my teachers were very helpful and it all helped me graduate!

Went to this school in the 60's it was great! We had protest so that girls could wear jeans!

For a freshmen of the school it's OK not going to lie, the variety or students and etc. Makes up a constant school with many new friends to make. JROTC and many teams and clubs makes up a main part of the school.

I went to Francis Lewis when it first opened in 1960. At the time, I often felt intimidated and disrespected by the administration. A very brave student named Tedi Farber wore a peace armband to school and was kicked out when she refused to take it off. They wouldn't be able to get away with that crap today. A few of us held a picket line across the street from the school defending her. I was called into the principal's office for doing that. What bullies they were back then! Andy Berman

Even though it's a large school, there are so many clubs and activities you can join to make you feel like you're a part of the school community. Always safe. Faculty and staff care about their students.

Dr. Marmor brings shame onto Francis Lewis High School. If I had to describe him in a single word, it d be SLOB . He is so sloppy and unprofessional that it causes embarrassment. He wears tight, stained tees that showcase his potbelly. He wears a dirty zipper sweater with sweatpants and a pair of old sneakers. His remaining hair is unkempt. I have never, not once seen him look remotely decent. It s amusing to see how he ll take a students phone for using it for classwork but won t say anything or try to enforce a rule preventing students from smoking in the bathrooms, locker rooms, or classrooms. I ve choked on smoke because of a student a few times and I am concerned for second-hand smoking. They vape openly in bathrooms; why doesn t anyone notice? I wouldn t recommend people to apply.

This school provides amazing opportuinites for any high school child. They give the child a Castle Learning account, tutoring in the child's subject of need, free lunch and the opportunity to join over 50 clubs!
An amazing place. The best english teacher is MS. FRANZA

Dear Freshmen,
I have Period Six Latin with Ms. Gutierrez. When you get accepted and have to pick a language class, AVOID LATIN WITH MERCEDES GUTIERREZ AT ALL COSTS! She speaks broken English in class but I once witnessed her talking drastically better outside of class. She lacks the motivation to teach, as she assigns us pages from the same textbook. The uniformity of her teaching is borderline depressing.
Recently, she listed the topics of a test we were slated to take. The test we took had LITTLE to do with what she told us to study. We had to translate a whole page which was a task we have never undertaken on our own by ourselves and understand questions written in Latin, all without a glossary. We normally translate three sentences at most with a glossary.
She has a classroom rule of no eating but yet she enters the class, scarfing down Arby's and teaching while chewing with her mouth open. This, along with her thick accent, makes her unable to be understood.
For tests, she has the habit of making students roll up their sleeves and show her their hands and arms to ensure no one is using a cheat sheet. It's very uncomfortable and unnecessary.
She also took a long leave of absence and immediately gave us a test, expecting us to remember what little we learned.
Dr. Marmor, please meet with Ms. Gutierrez to help her become a better teacher.

went here a few years ago. very overcrowded, but the teachers are great. unfortunately I found out about half the teachers I had have left/retired, but still this is a very good high school to go to. lots of ap classes, athletic/social clubs, jrotc, etc. I learned a lot here and I highly value the education I recieved from here as it was better than my elementary, middle and even undergraduate education in terms of quality.
