On March 30, 1995, the assistant principal of Stuyvesant High School informed respondent's deputy director that he had spoken with the proctor responsible for administering the exam to Mosah and that the proctor was unaware of excessive noise in the gym.
Respondent contends that the appeal is untimely, that Mosah cannot be admitted to Stuyvesant High School because he failed to achieve a cut-off score, and that Mosah is not eligible for summer school because he fails to meet the admission criteria.
No candidate may be admitted to a special high school unless he has successfully achieved a score above the cut-off score for the openings in the school for which he has taken the examination.

 Stuyvesant High School - New York, NY 10282 - Reviews: High Schools
The truth is that, while Stuyvesant is a very good school, it is not because of the teachers or the environment; half the teachers are terrible, the other half are pretty good, with a few outstanding ones.
The environment is just as corrupting as any other school, with the exception of gangs, there are no gangs in Stuyvesant, but drug use is just as, or even more rampant than in other schools.
People also say that Stuyvesant has a "competitive" atmosphere; it is simply untrue, most students "compete" only against themselves, they won't care whether or not they had the highest in the class, they only care that they got the highest test grade possible.
