This is a very academically challenging school, there are many AP and honors classes offered and there is a lot of SAT preparation that takes place. I transferred out of SVA last year in order to graduate early. I met many great mentors here such as the biology teacher and girls basketball coach. I was also able to participate in a number of extracurriculars at the same time with minimal conflict. However, the administration is not equipped to deal with a variety of issues. There was a number of anti-semitic graffiti left un dealt with. Not only this, but it is toxic for those struggling with mental health issues. Transferring was the best thing that I could've done for my mental health.
