What people are saying

by a teacher
Tuesday, October 11, 2011

Public School 95 used to be the best elementary school, in my opinion in the city of new york.Dr. Aura Gangemi was the principal and the staff during her reign was fantastic. The children were respectful and the parents as well adored most of the staff. It was a sad day when she retired and the school was taken over by Barker. The school which was once the diamond in the rough of districe 19 was now a piece of coal. Barker ruined the school and the staff as well. All i can say now is the memories will forever live on because thats all there is of P.S.95. Close Quote
