Worsest school in Brooklyn. Teachers don't care what is going on in the class, no homework whatsoever, very poor teacher- parent communication. No matter how hard I tried to make a connection with teacher all my attempts are failed. For 2 years that my son wasted at this school at the age of 7 he wasn't able to read, write or do basic math, I had to teach him myself every single day after school and see a very good outcome.

My Experience ia horrible. The teachers lie and dont teach my child properly. I asked one of my daughter's teachers yes plural considering they can seem to keep one constant teacher are you using the notebooks i sent. She stated yes and when i picked them up they were empty. Then claim they will be using hand writing books but sent them home and have yet to be put to use. They also put my childs health at risk by taking my child outside in 40 below degree weather with just a tee shirt on during a fire drill and act like thats ok. This school proves to be disorganized and non caring for my childs well being. Never had i ever had this problem or seen this in any of my other childrens schools. If i could change my 5 yr old daughter school i would. A matter of fact if i can please tell me how bc she is zoned here.

The best Teachers and Rebbeim in the entire Brooklyn.

I am the step-father of an 11 yr. old girl who just finished 6th grade. This is her first year in this school, having come from the local k-5 public school. My "first" two children attended public as well as private schools so I have experience to make a comparison. I cannot applaud this school enough; from the principal to the janitor, each and every person I ever came into contact with was as interested and caring as a school staff could be. Every parental anxiety was met with concern and followed up by action. This is a "private school" education at 1/4 of the tuition. Although the school asks for contributions for extracurricular expenses, I got the impression that no one was ever pressured for money that posed any hardship to the family. The principal knows every child in the school which is no easy task. The teachers are very sincere and most had spent years at the school. If anything, I thought the parent population (at least in middle school) were not as involved as I thought they should have been but this was not because of the attitude of the staff which tried to engage the parents all year long. Families here are getting a real parochial, educational value.
