"Communication from school to parents is virtually non-existent. During Hurricane Sandy we did not receive a single email from the school for the entire two weeks. The website is useless, there is also no communication with parents as to when to expect their children to be home. There have been several occasions where my child was two hours late getting home--I was a nervous wreck. There is no outreach. Cannot recommend."

"Very few kids at this school can speak proper English--and that's because very few of the staff speak proper English. The parent coordinator is not helpful, and the principal is very defensive if you make any suggestions. There is a lot of profanity from the kids, and bullying as well. I do not recommend this school."

"Very poor teaching quality compared to other PS in the neighborhood. School seems very poor, begging for donation every other week. Always asks for parent volunteers, without tightening children's security. Parents definitely need to work with children after school, you can't just rely on teachers at this school. Cannot recommend. Most parents took their kids after a year of attendance."

"Thanks to Principal Ms.Sing-Bock and her STRONG leadership this school contuines to evolve... I'm just grateful for the commitment through out the years. I have two children who attend and a 17 years old who attended at one time. This school has great involvement of the arts...love it!"
