The High School for Environmental Studies, or more commonly referred as HSES, is located in West Midtown, a neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. The High School for Environmental Studies was once a 21st Century Fox movie studio. [1]
The school was featured on the news on September 20, 2012 when 18-year-old Theodore Beckles was stabbed to death by a group of teens at about 2:30 p.m. outside the High School for Environmental Studies on West 56th Street.[2] All 4 of the teens from the High School for Environmental Studies have been charged with gang assault.[3]
The school does not permit students to leave the building during their respective lunch periods and bathrooms are closed during the first and last 10 minutes of each periods.[4]
On 3/20/2015 a 16-year-old student had brought a loaded gun (.32 caliber revolver) to the High school of Environmental Studies that was later featured on the news.[5]
About 75% of graduates enroll in 2-year or 4-year colleges and according to the school’s Progress Report. Of those who go to college, roughly half go to CUNY, 25% to SUNY and 25% to other colleges.[6]
