Review

Our review:

Academy of Environmental Science Secondary High School was housed in one of the first buildings to be divided into small schools—the former JHS 99 building in East Harlem. The school struggled for years and in 2011 the Department of Education decided to phase it out, before it closed in 2014. Although academic performance was low, most kids said they felt safe.

Renaissance Charter High School for Innovation, which shares the building, expanded as AES phased out. Manhattan East Middle School, a popular selective school that attracts children from across the city, and the lower grades of Success Academy Harlem 3 are also housed in the buiilding.
