The school's Asian and English Language Learner (ELL) students significantly outperform their peers, ranking in the top 20% and top 10% of New York elementary schools, respectively, in recent years. However, the school's performance for its Hispanic and White student subgroups is more average, ranking in the middle 50% of New York elementary schools. The school's performance for its Special Education and Homeless student subgroups is relatively lower, ranking in the bottom 40% and bottom 30% of New York elementary schools, respectively. This suggests the school may need to focus on addressing the needs of its lower-performing subgroups to ensure more equitable outcomes.

I miss P.S.204. I was a former student myself and I loved my school. However we have to move on to bigger and better things. I miss the school a lot and this is the best school i have ever been yet. And now i am in 6th grade. I really miss P.S.204, therefore I would love to visit 204 again! This school is a wonderful school where it teaches you manner and many other important things to be successful in the near future. If you are reading this and is looking for a Elementary School this is the one you are looking for! Close Quote

I'm not sure how the school was previously but agree it is overcrowded. I'm not impress with the current teacher my child has nor the experience my child is having. My child is introverted and instead of drawing her out, the teacher is causing her to become intimidated and withdrawn. Perhaps the large classroom size is an influential factor which prevents individualized attention. But this particular teacher appears impatient, rushed and largely focuses on the extroverted group of children. She would state my child does not participate enough when my child voices that she does raise her hand but is rarely called upon. This was noted during open house week as well. This teacher has utilize the word "dumb" in front of my child during parent teacher conference which does not appear professional and made references that a 1/4 of the class is smart but not her doing and I believe evaluates her class according to this "smarter" group in the class rather than curriculum standards. I'm not sure if the principal is a strong figure but I wish the principal would develop a teacher's evaluation from parents so parental opinion can be sought to evaluate whether the teacher is truly appropriate for their school setting. Additionally, it also appears a large part of the academically advanced kids attends an academic after school tutoring class in order to succeed here and I can understand considering the large class sizes and possible lack of individualized attention. It's quite unfortunate since they receive great ratings 5-6 yrs before as per "Great Schools" and "Inside Schools". Word of advice for parents with plans to send their child to this school, definitely consider spending time and money on personal academic enrichment. The curriculum is great/challenging but some of the teachers, remains to be seen... Close Quote
