This school needs much improvement in regards to some of the staff members. I would never send my kid to this school. Do yourself a favor and find another school. Close Quote

I toured PS111 today. I was happily surprised to find such an engaging principal. Principal Gilligan took the time to sit down with me and answer all the questions I had. It's clear he cares about his school and is very attentive. From my meeting with him he cares about the child as a whole, meeting their individual academic needs so that every child's academic life is enriched, paying attention to their social emotional growth and promoting physical activity which unfortunately is lacking attention in most schools today. As a prospective parent I am very impressed. Close Quote
