Open Quote PS 267 is a great school if you're of the local demographic. Black students (1) are not met with the same Welcoming tone as their white classmates. They are met with skepticism and micro aggressions...a very very sad and traumatizing experience for a young g black student in 2021!!! and don't get me started on Medea the AWFUL principal.

Open Quote Amazing school! Couldn't be happier Close Quote

Open Quote I have only good things to say about PS 267. The teachers are phenomenal, patient, supportive and tough all at the same time. My kids are happy and have great friends. They are learning and growing every day. I think the community of parents is lovely and kind.

The only downside of the school is limited outdoor space although the gym is beautiful and the kids still get outside to play during recess a couple of times a week.

Overall I think any student (and parent) would be lucky to be part of the 267 community. Close Quote
