TYWLS of Astoria Review

This middle school is terrible!!! My daughter got bullied badly since first year of attending. The staff don't care about the students and they don't teach well. The staff members pick on certain students and disrespect them as well. The students treat each other very cruel and have no manners. There is ongoing bullying and drama between the students which the administration doesn't do anything about. I had to transfer my daughter out of the school due to the school's poor academics. I don't even think she is well prepared for high school. My daughter had a terrible time in this school. This school should definitely be closed down!

Today 10/26/16 I went and removed my daughter from the school because I wasn't happy with the curriculum. The people who work in the office are extremely rude (Dawn and Danny). They didn't even ask why I was taking her out of the school. They showed no concern whatsoever! How can people like this work in a school? From my perspective, they seem to not like their jobs. Horrible role models for the kids that go to that school. I am so glad that I took her out of this school. I had applied to this school as a third choice on the middle school form and we never attended the open house or interview and she got in. I should have known :( One more thing my daughter had complained that Dawn was rude to her once before also and that she didn't feel comfortable to go to the office for anything. The only person that seemed to care was the school security guard. Parents this school is horrible and not worth it in my opinion!!

Everyone in the school is really nice and caring. The teachers are very welcoming and are very respectful to the parents. I feel very safe at the school. The teacher care about the students always wanting the best for them. I've had good experiences at the school. I am glad that my sister goes to TYWLS because college is also a priority for them. Everything I have to say about TYWLS are good things.

This school by far is the most comfortable, cozy, attentive school yet. The teachers give so much attention to each students learning. They care academically and even so far care as for the students well being mentally. This school raises strong independent women ready for college and any other success in life.

I was lucky enough to attend this school 9th-12th grade. It is incredible how much support I received from my teachers; they are very smart and always willing to help (even to this day). As I approach my final semester of undergrad, I can say with confidence that this school has prepared me well for college. My professors were astonished with my critical thinking and writing skills that I learned from my TYWLS teachers and staff. I met my best friends at this school; I always felt safe at TYWLS. The school does a very good job at celebrating everyone's cultures and uniqueness. TYWLS takes the college application process very seriously. The school has experts helping the girls with college and federal aid applications. Students bring in millions of dollars worth of scholarships every year. It is actually not that surprising when you learn that the school's graduation rate and college acceptance rate has been almost 100% for the past four years.

I went to this school from 9-12tg grade and I wouldn't be who I am today without the support and love I received there. The teachers and staff didn't feel like a staff and teachers, but felt more like family and mentors. They don't only care about how we're doing academically, but also care tremendously about how we're doing personally. I loved Tammy experience here so much that I'm hoping to send my younger sister here as well. There can't be a better experience anywhere else. Unless it's a Tywls school.

I attended this school for both middle and high school and I must say that I owe this school a lot. The community is diverse, cozy and small and I always had the attention of my teachers. Every teacher in this school cares about the education of the girls and are incredibly supportive. They prepare the girls for the real world and college. Because of TYWLS, I figured out what kind of person I am, the values I hold, and what I want to do with my life.
