I like PS 49. At first I felt a little discouraged by the attitude of the teachers telling me that my child won't succeed, however, we have proved to them that anyone can succeed.

In regards to the principal, I have never met him nor had any interactions with him.

PS 49 is a great school! It is socially, economically and academically diverse. There are many programs in place to assist the struggling student such as 37.5 minutes, Learning Leaders and there are enrichment programs for the advanced student such as Advanced Math, architecture, art, chess, etc.

The principal may not make everyone happy but I believe he does the very best he can for the children by getting the most 'bang for his buck' with his limited budget. The school has an open door policy for parents and you are never made to feel like you are not welcome by any of the professionals in the building. Read less

This school is not as great as they say. Only the needy kids are getting help. If your child is not one of them, he/she would have to be on his/her own.
