Stuyvesant High School

Stuyvesant High School, often nicknamed Stuy by its staff and students, is one of New York City's specialized math- and science-based public high schools. The school was founded in 1904. Admission to Stuyvesant, which is run by the New York City Department of Education, is by competitive examination, and there is no tuition. The school is noted for its many accomplished alumni, its rigorous academics, and for sending the most students to Harvard, Yale, and Princeton of any public school in the United States.

In pop culture

Stuyvesant High School was one of the main settings of the film Hackers. Just as in the film, Stuyvesant has no pool on the roof. The 2004 Tribeca Film Festival featured an ad campaign with a stylized depiction of the school entitled "Fast Times at Stuyvesant High".
