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.
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.
