What people are saying

by a citizen
Friday, April 15, 2016

Wow! There seems to be a big difference in how certain people feel about Floral Park Bellerose School. Perhaps some people want change, while others are happy with being status quo - doing what the state says, not involving critical thinking, teaching to a test, etc.. What I do find most disturbing is that the residents of the town are not very respectful to one another. Suggesting people should move because they disagree with what others consider the norm, is downright rude. No matter how good or bad a school is, there is always room for changes and improvements. I give this school 2 stars because of the behavior of the adults. Close Quote

Floral Park is a great community with wonderful schools both at the elementary and high school. As with any community there are a small handful of naysayers who hate everything and everyone. This school has been great for my children and I'm proud to be part of the PTA and school community. The teachers and administrators are extremely responsive. There are always a few bad apples and they seize any moment to try to make our district look bad. Too bad they don't move if things are so bad. The vast majority of people are happy as are our children. Great education and still one of the lowest per pupil spending on Long Island . Thank you. Close Quote

The students, parents and teachers are miserable in this school. The only people that seem to be happy are the highly overpaid administrators. All the administrators care about are test scores. There is no creativity or free thinking. Only a few minutes for recess each day too (if any). This school is very pro common core. All they do is test prep. There is no real learning. Close Quote
