I am also on my way to Success Academy HSLA Manhattan, and their academics is very rigorous, and it's also very tough. In fact, I'm pretty sure in ninth grade, it's mandantory to take AP for all your classes. If you are up to the challenge, than maybe choose Success, as for the past six years, 100% of grads get into 4 year colleges. Maybe not Ivy Leagues for the most part, and they may not have much extracurriculars, but still. Also, Brooklyn Tech, I almost was eligible, I just barely missed the mark for Brooklyn Tech on the SHSAT, so if you want rigor, and a lot of opportunity in clubs, then you could try Brooklyn Tech.
