GCHS is a GREAT school! Reading the comments most of you did not attend GCHS. The comments are focused on negative activity. Most of what you guys are saying is not true. I am a teacher at Cleveland and I am very proud of the school . What about our academic success! We do well on the Regents, We won medals every year in the Science Olympiad Competition and won the Regional Bridgebuilding competition 3 years in a row.Many students attend IVY League schools! Our problems are like other schools

My sister went to that school. Which was strange because we lived reeaaaalllllyyyyy far away from there. But then we came to Virginia anyways, much better here.

I don't remember that many trees around the school. The front of the school looked about the same except for all the scaffolding. Didn't see Mom's Deli which was a favorite place to go when we cut out of school for lunch back in the early 60s. I heard that by the 70s and 80s GC had fallen on hard time and that it was a place you didn't want to send your kids. I guess they call that social progress.

@donmacauley there were problems back then... From what people who attended the school in the 70s and 80s tell me Cleveland was bad but it wasn't as bad and as ghetto as it was in the mid to late 90s... I remember first moving here from ENY down to Ridgewood and I even recognized some people that used to live in my old neighborhood coming down here... To them, they claimed that it was cause the school wasn't as bad as the schools by them and it wasn't that hard to get too... perspective i guess

@dattruf I didn't look outside to find out what was going on... to be fair, those type of things used to happen alot more when i first moved here in the late 90s believe it or not... the neighborhood itself wasn't bad but there were a few knuckleheads that lived here and the kids from the school that lived in Bushwick would come down and start problems... it seems like now though, these homegrown Ridgewood sets are the ones causing problems though to a lesser degree...

@dattruf in reference to your reply to jrg8008 I've lived here across the street from the school for about 15 years now and came from east ny and I can definitely say that for the most part this is true... shootouts isn't a common thing but it does happen around here from time to time... I blame the park because the Latin Kings fight with the Mexican crews at night time... about a week and a half ago I heard about 4 loud cracks around 10pm and then you heard some kids running and screaming...
