They have good teachers that help students to achieve in the school.” Posted By: other Quality Score: decline 2008-07-31 “I graduated from cts and let me tell you. the teachers and other staff, help the students in any way they can. i am pride to say that i came from Cicely Tyson School of Perfroming and Fine Arts.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2008-06-18 “My daughter is graduating tomorrow from Cicely Tyson and in the beginning she seemed to have a hard time in the beginning but has perservered through the 12th grade.I am so pleased that certain teachers took the extra effort to continue to support and encourage her.I truly believe that this school can use some improvement,but i am happy that my child has made it through” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-11-29 “I am also a parent at Cicely Tyson high school and in fact my daughter is a senior. I can honestly say Cicely Tyson impelled her to become a responsible student. Cicely Tyson preparedd my daughter far more than many schools I know. My daughter has completed internships, she has resume, she is the founding president of two organizations within the school. Although it has been a great challenge I am proud that my daughter had the opportunities to experience things I never have. Because of the theater instructor my daughter is applying and very well prepared in colleges: Julliard, mason gross, purchase, howard, and temple. The theater program has opened her eyes and helped her to stand a chance. Cicely is not in best conditions but the education is beneficial.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2007-06-25 “The school is horrible. Typical Public Institution. The school does not offer any program(s) for children who have excelled academically. Administration lacks care, concern.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 4 2006-11-09 “I am an alumi student from Tyson and I'm now getting ready to graduate for a pretty well know four year institution. I feel that there were definitely some teachers who helped to prepare me for the transition from high school to college and others that did not so much. I would reccomend that the school upgrade their curriculum and that they make their standards higher, so that more students can be better prepared for the transistion into college. I did enjoy my years grades 6-12 very much in Tyson and do not regret being a student there at all! I just wish that I was not in for such a shock when I entered college. There are plenty extracurricular activities at tyson, and I feel that the level of parent involvment was mediore, but then I didn't see everyting involving parental involvement, so I can't be 100% sure.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 5 2006-02-27 “Cicely Tyson is one of the best schools in the East Orange School district. There is so much room for personal and academic growth there. The students are required to participate in performing or fine arts, so anything like: drawing, danceing, singing, acting, playing an instrument are all availible for children. There are many opportunities availible for parents to be a part of their child's school life. Academically, Tyson was the first high school in East Orange now to offer Advanced Placement classes for students. It is a wonderful learning enviorment and I am glad to be a part of that family.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 3 2006-02-21 “Cicely tyson is a school of performance arts. I'm partialy satisfied with it's academic program. The teachers try their best to deliver the message but the children don't listen. The children dont understand the importance of edu-tainment. School first, then performing. I attends there and constantly complain about their food and not having electives. How do you expect a growing child to focus on school when the lunch is nasty or burnt? If Campus can recieve such good tasting lunch why can't Tyson! Also to enter some colleges you need elective credits. Why don't they offer electives? I know its a school of the arts but they need electives.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2005-07-27 “My daughter is going to the 7th grade and her summer has been ruined because she is afraid to go back to this school because of all the violence she saw in the 6th grade. They need more securtiy and stricter rules. The teachers are mean, and they need more training with dealing with trouble kids, because alot of the kids are not loved at home and come to school and let out their frustration on other students. The dance section need more activity and interests for the children, doors should be watched and the buses are sometimes 1 hour late. This is my only option right now since I can't afford private school but I feel so bad for my daughter have to be scared to go to school.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 2 2005-05-21 “I think that this school needs help all the way around. There is very little organiztion when it comes to activities for students. I am an eight grade student this year and this will definetely be my last year at this school. They also need more security. There are many side doors and anyone can come in and out withought people knowing it. They also need to get the proper tools needed for the teachers to teach. I think that if teachers had the right tools, they could teach students at a higher level.”
