Stuyvesant High School (commonly known as “Stuy”), is one of the best high schools in New York City and consistently ranks in the top hundred high schools for New York State. Stuy is one of the specialized high schools in NYC, but students don't need to show a portfolio of work or do any interviews. In fact, the only way to be accepted is to ace the Specialized High School Admissions Test (SHSAT) in the fall for entry the following year.
