Saturday, August 12, 2017

My 7 year old daughter has attended this school for the last two years and I am extremely grateful that her zoned school, P.S. 205, would not take her because this school is amazing. The staff works hard with the students and the administration, as far as I observed, is attentive to parents' needs. The learning environment is rigorous and standards are set high. Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Schwartz are fantastic! Close Quote
