I have 2 children who attend PS/IS 87 in Middle Village. First, let me say that I have seen 4 principals in 7 years come through this school. The school was an absolute mess until Caryn Michaeli took the reigns. The children love going in every day and having her greet them at the door. She knows

When you have children coming home and actually talking about what they're learning, to me, is an inspiration. The teachers and entire staff of PSIS 87 are more than dedicated to their positions. There is no 'overcrowded mess' here. Take the time to do some research, and you'll see we're fighting for what we need and deserve. Read less

The reality about PS 87Q is that it has been a PS/IS Pre-K thru 8th grade school for the past 5 years. Ms. Michaeli, Principal is the best thing that ever walked into the arches of this school. Every student is treated with respect, and dignity. She truly cares about each and every student full well

In fact, every parent and staff member has her private cell number in which they can reach at anytime they deem necessary. There isn't a day when a student doesn't walk into her room for a hug or a chat and is welcomed with open arms.....as for an overcrowded mess, we served as the pilot PK-8 school beginning in 2002 and was supposed to get an extension. Seven years later, we are still waiting! Read less

Many times I don't know what they are doing and the homeworks sometimes are confusing. No updates are offer to the parents on this and when I send notes to the teacher she barely answers them. Parent involvement is extremetly low, during parent association only 5 to 8 parents show up. Read less
