As a former Cardozo student and graduate (6th in my class), Cardozo certainly fostered a sense of accomplishment both academically and personally. There is a definite correlation between ones effort and the end result. I invested %100 percent of my effort in my education and in return received scholarships, accolades and life long relationship with teachers and peers and am a graduate of the illustrious Howard University. As with anything in life, you get out of it what you've invested.

I believe Cardozo HS in D.C. is a very good school because despite the stereotypical negative image some may have of the school (which is not true), it has excellent teachers available for students who want to succeed. I graduated from Cardozo and was able to go to the University of Virginia, with the help of my great teachers. Overall, I think this school matches the students with teachers who truly care and encourage students to overcome any obstacles.

There are some great, dedicated teachers there, but some horrible ones that should be long gone. The new Principal is an improvement, but some other administrators are terrible. Standards are too low. Students get too many days off for teacher meetings and training. The building is falling apart. Extra cirriculars are there but are inconsistent, depending on who is leading them. Parent involvement is very low, but the Principal is now trying to form a PTA to her credit.

People really underestimate Cardozo. It is hyped up in all the bad news but a student's educational and life experience as a human being is well developed.
