Attended YPS, my family worked for YPS, many friends did, and I did, briefly. Please do not get involved in this cabal in which the most powerful among the administration have not the slightest inclination to care for students and whether they learn. This ancient system of graft goes all the way to Albany and is locked down tight. Please do not join it. Anything is better. Go for Catholic or private schools in Westchester. But you will sorely regret entering YPS.
