Great school, great programs including music, art, science, and social classes from preschools to higher grades. As a parent, I'm very impressed and the kids are happier here. Trust me, there are schools, private schools out there can't even come close to this. The principal is leading her team of staff to an excellence model of all schools should be.

Stay away from this school. This is the worst school I've ever been. The instructors made too many…read moremistakes and don't teach. They just sit there and do nothing. When students ask questions, the teachers want other students to answer it for them. They jeep on telling us to work in groups but students have no ideas of the lesson and fool around. My grade dropped when I transfer to this school. My old school is much better than this rubbish school. I didn't learn anything from this school. Especially, one time was when I told them my personal small issue. They made the problem so big. They made my family and my relationship fall apart. Also, they made me really stress in my entire life. They also made my grades drop and embarrassed me in front of other people. I'm an elegant person and that's the only time in my life that I curse at those dumb stupid teachers. They don't even know elementary general knowledge statements. Students are more intelligent and active than those idiot teachers. Same during the field trip to Manhattan. They don't know how to handle stuff and embarrassed me in a place full of people. We are recording the food price in the market. They didn't wait for me in the market. Later, they announced my name on the speaker. This is so embarrassing for people to know a teenager is lost with my name announced. This is the first time that it ever happen to me. Also, I win the game but everyone gets the same reward. This is not fair that I win, got lost, and got embarrassed for hard work and I got the same gift as losers. The teachers are dumb in everything. They blame on the students who made the school fall but it's the teachers who made it fall. They don't help the freshmen and sophomore is wrong. Wish this school goes to hell!!!!

When I have kids, if I'm still in New York, I'll for sure send them here.

What a wonderful school! I have been coming to do teaching-student observations and the atmosphere…read morehere is wonderful. The principal really cares about her students, she's always welcoming them in the morning and sometimes during recess she's out there too, very friendly. The teachers are really professional, strict and lovely at the same time. They know how to teach strict and show compassion at the same time. I enjoy coming here and learn from them, because I could not imagine learning from anyone else. The classrooms are very colorful and they're all different. My favorite one is the jungle classroom! And they sure know how to decorate.

It's a very good school, I went here up until 6th grade and even now what I learned here still…read morehelps me in this new school. If I hadn't moved away I would've stayed from 2nd-8th grade. You can really tell that the Teachers truly care for and know their students. The classes are small so you can really get to know the teachers and the students. The students there are very kind (As kind as Middle schoolers can be ) and I still find myself talking to them, despite being far away. This school has plenty extracurriculars and allows their students to tap into new interests or skills that can help in long term. The school does many fun things to raise money which helps families struggling with tuition. This school was an amazing experience for me and still teaches me things to this day. SEND UR KIDS HERE PLS ITS SO FUN I ACTUALLY LOOKED FORWARD TO SCHOOL GOING HERE!
