"The feeling when one's school-a specialized high school-is nothing but the second floor and basement of a building that doesn't even belong to it."
"We've endured for 23 years, ever since 2002, and yet when people come to visit our school, they will find only a tiny school building."
Angela Li's poignant account highlights the struggles of students at Queens High School for the Sciences at York College, which is currently confined to two rented floors of a building. Despite being ranked first among New York high schools and achieving a 100% graduation rate, the inadequate facilities reflect the school's struggles with funding and space constraints. Students lack basic amenities such as a gym, as they are housed in an unsuitable building intended for a medical program. Their achievements are overshadowed by the spatial and financial challenges they face.
