"This school is on par with many private schools--I would say better in terms of the kids who, at least to me, seem more down-to-earth than at many private schools in NYC. It is a clean, safe environment with strong academics, an engaged PTA, supportive teachers and great kids. No school is perfect, but the principal is outstanding and teachers, parents, and students feel they are part of a vibrant community. The academic program is traditional so if your kid is looking for a progressive curriculum, this is not the place for him/her. On the other hand, those looking for solid courses with a fairly predictable selection of classes, will be satisfied. My child loves the school and that is what is most important to me."

"Elro does not give 5 hours of homework a night. The principal has limited homework to 1/2 hour per night per academic course, for a total of about 2 1/2 hours per night. Over Thanksgiving break, teachers were not allowed to assign more than 1 night of homework. This is a school for hardworking students, but the homework load, while heavy, is not excessive. My son is a senior, not a super hard worker, and he loves this place. The teachers are wonderful."

"This exact post re "Going Mentally Mad" is why our son w/our support chose not to go to ER. We had discussed this issue w/several parents of ER students and decided that the excessive pressure wasn't about learning but cramming and status seeking. Parents are beginning to lobby against all this overload that our kids have in the evenings and on weekends. This applies to private as well as public schools Let your voices be heard! 5 hours of homework each night does not make our kids smarter, just exhausted and burned out."

"The work load and extended school day puts WAY too much pressure on the students to achieve what the teachers expect of us. Speaking for us all, the schedule and work load needs to be made with regard that each student has a life, and extracurriculers to attend. 5 hours of homework and a LONG school day is too much on us all. Going mentally mad!"

"Leadership is key and Mr. Saliani is an outstanding leader. He has a good working knowledge of teaching and diplomacy - he has been known to prepare some of the lunchroom specials. The school environment reflects the involvement and interest of all the staff and students together."
