(I looked up the school's website and read about it. It's a heckuva facility. They didn't make high schools like that out here in Calif.)
If you are in California, then you should know that East New York was a working class/middle class area down on the outwash plain. Cypress Hills is up on the terminal morraine, with the Interboro (now Jackie Robinson) Parkway and the cemetaries above it and East New York below. You can only get down to East New York on a few street. The hill is such that it reminds me of Yonkers, my hometown -- there are very few hills on Long Island.
So Cypress Hills was and is a little ritzier. Now Cypress Hills is working class/middle class while East New York is dirt poor.
