"A once preeminent Queens high school will close its doors, city officials announced Thursday.
But the century-old Jamaica High School won't go down without a fight.
'This is a travesty,' said teachers union chapter leader James Eterno. 'We're outraged. . . . In the middle of the game, the Department of Education pulled the rug out from under us.'
After the state removed Jamaica from the 'persistently dangerous' list and the school's graduation rate jumped 10 percentage points, teachers and students relaxed."
