What people are saying

by a teacher
Saturday, March 3, 2018

I want be clear about this school. Do not, under any circumstances send your kids there and if you are a teacher do not look for employment at that school. You will regret about it for the rest of your life because this school can destroy your career. Students are horrendous and the administrators are mean nasty and helpful at all. They will place all burden you and they will blame you for everything. Every little thing will result as a letter in your file. No matter what you do you will be rated as ineffective. I really hope and keep my finger crossed that this school will be closed foverer. I have never seen such misarable and unhappy teachers in my entire life. Bloomberg destroyed a very good school. In 2009 this school had about 2.500 students and over 100 teachers. Right now it barely has 200 kids and about 37 teachers.
I forgot to mention the support stuff such as guy who makes copies and secretary who is mean and useless often times. Plus securitiies who usually do nothing as well. Close Quote
