    "Without a doubt, P.S. 203 is one of the VERY BEST schools in New York. Every teacher here expects every child to excel. The principal expects every child to develop a strong academic foundation before they graduate. Some may argue this places too much pressure on children. My children can come back home and complaint during their summer recess at an Ivy League University."

    "My 3 children and 5 nephews went to P.S. 203. The teachers are extremely caring and highly motivating to the students. The parents are very involved as well. The school is academically one of the best schools around. The big secret though is that their creative and performing arts programs are just as strong. The dance, music, drama and fine arts teachers work closely together to produce several performances per class during the school year and ALL students participate, not just the talented ones. The school principal always comments that we have our own Broadway production. She is a tough administrator but very fair and loving. She cares about her students and her staff. When my youngest was nearing graduation, she asked "Do I have to graduate? I don't want to leave P.S. 203, it's so fun here." That pretty much sums up how wonderful the school is. Strong Academics + Strong Arts = Top School It is true that a couple of secretarial staff could be friendlier but don't let them affect your impression of the school. They don't teach the kids."

    "My son who is currently 5 is ready to attend kindergarden at ps203. The first person my wife and I had contact with was a lady (not to mention her name..) who handles all registration related applications. Not only was she impatient with us, very unhelpful, and rude. She provided incorrect info which may have cause my son to get into the school! After many attempts to get more info from her, after we missed the open registration period (due to mostly her fault after given incorrect info!). She finally asked us to come in with our child with all the paper work for registration. We reminded ourselves to be very friendly, and polite due the history of how she conducts her work. She actually refused to shake my wife's hand when we initially met at the lobby. Some how pretended not to even notice my wife had her hand up waiting to shake her hand, and just asked us "where is your child"? (there were many people in the lobby at the time, so she might not have seen our child). This lady pretty much gave us a very bad experience about this school, I'm hoping the teachers and everyone else is not like her whatsoever."
