History and operations
editThe school originated from Manhattan's Chinatown neighborhood in 1973.
Its first students were mainly Chinese immigrants. After merging into the New York City Board of Education, the school became a transfer school, with services roved students from five boroughs of the New York City and from other countries.[clarification needed]
Around eighty percent of its students attend college after graduation. It offers Bilingual Spanish/Chinese classes, ENL programs, as well as multiple Advanced Placement classes, extended day, preparatory for the Regents Examinations and robotics programs. The school's mission is to prepare students for college studies and their future careers.
