(STUDENTS WALKING IN THE HALL :01 SECOND)

TRACK: 1

STUDENTS JOSTLE FOR SPACE IN THE HALLWAY AT FRANCIS LEWIS HIGH SCHOOL

SOT:  (STUDENT)

IT’S REALLY BAD. THERE’S NO ROOM TO WALK. BUT WE TRY NOT TO GET ON EACH OTHER’S NERVES.

TRACK: 2

IT TAKES A LOT FOR STUDENTS TO HOLD IT TOGETHER. ALMOST 4300 STUDENTS ATTEND THE QUEENS SCHOOL, ORIGINALLY BUILT FOR 2300.

SOT: (PRINCIPAL)

WE KNOW IT’S TOUGH ON THE STUDENTS. BUT OVEROVERCROWDING FORCED US TO FIGURE OUT NEW STRATEGIES FOR TEACHING.

TRACK: 3

PRINCIPAL JOHN CARVER’S FORMULA SEEMS TO WORK. EVEN WITH THE JAM -PACKED CLASSROOMS, THE SCHOOL STILL EARNED A SPOT ON U.S. NEWS AND WORLD REPORT’S BEST HIGH SCHOOL LIST.

SOT: (STUDENT)

YOU CAN GET A GOOD EDUCATION HERE IF YOU PAY ATTENTION AND TRY. YOU JUST HAVE TO TUNE OUT THE NOISE.

TRACK:4

THAT’S THE KIND OF THING THE TEACHERS AND PRINCPAL LOVE TO HEAR.

SOT: (TEACHER)

WE KNOW OUR STUDENTS TRY HARD. THAT’S WHY WE BREAK OUR CLASSES DOWN INTO SMALL GROUPS SO WE CAN GIVE THE STUDENTS INDIVIDUAL ATTENTION.

TRACK: 5

FRANCIS LEWIS HAS AN 88 PERCENT GRADUATION RATE AND ALMOST HALF THE STUDENTS TAKE ADVANCED PLACEMENT COURSES FOR COLLEGE.

SOT (STUDENT)

I KNOW I’M READY FOR COLLEGE. AND I LOVE GOING TO SCHOOL HERE.
