Are You a True Stuy Student?

As the school year comes to an end, we are all saying goodbye to our friends, cleaning out our lockers, and burning all of our old classwork papers. For many of us, it is time for a break into the real world, away from the safety of our beloved 10 (and a half) floor building. But before the class of ‘24 turns around and never looks back, this quiz will tell them if they lived up to their true “Stuy-Potential” during their time here. (If you are not in the class of ‘24, still feel free to take it!) 

Were you the quintessential Pegleg—the type of student New Yorkers typically think of when they hear the name of our prestigious high school? Or, did you pave your own way through the sea of students and faculty? You can keep score of your points using the dashes underneath each question, and the scoring chart will be at the end of the quiz. Have fun!

37 - 47 Points:

You are a true Stuy student, through and through. In fact, go ahead and call yourself Peter Stuyvesant. You weren’t the one waiting to cross the graduation stage to grab your diploma, but Principal Yu was. Having the gracious opportunity to shake your hand was the highlight of his life. 

27 - 36 Points: 

Not bad! You’ve almost unlocked your true potential. It’s never too late to indulge in a delicious pizza bagel or get yelled at by our amazing ID scanner crew. Don’t give up now, I believe in you. 

17 - 26 Points: 

Huh… I think you're missing a few points there. Maybe you missed a few questions—you should go back and check your answers again. Otherwise, I might have to mistake you as a Stuy wannabe after taking this quiz. Go back to What’s What, The Observer, The Survey, The Science Survey, or whichever Stuy-reject school newspaper you actually read. 

0 - 16 Points: 

Never mind, YOU are the true imposter. And if you aren’t, I just have one question for you. Do you live under a rock? I fear the only solution is super senioritis. These Stuyvesant experiences are ones that you truly can not miss; they make you whole. They turn you into a true man. It’s time for you to defer your college acceptance. I’ll see you next year!

Negative Points: 

I don’t know about your math, but based on mine, having negative points isn’t exactly possible in this situation. You probably shouldn’t super senior, but super pre-K.
