My son came to the school with ADHD diagnosed at 7, and three medical doctors requesting extra time on tests. The counsellor refused, referring to me as "you people," implying I wanted special privileges. The school psychologist disagreed with her assessment. My son failed classes. He got no support. I had to get the District supervisor to overrule this racist and cruel decision--reprimanding the school--but it was too late. Brooklyn Tech is a school that's run by a lot of angry and disillusioned people who take itheir frustrations out on the parents and kids who need them most. I would rather move out of town or go to a regular public school than send another child of mine here.

Our son has been attending PS11 since kindergarten and is now thriving in 2nd grade. The teachers are truly exceptional, creating a nurturing and supportive learning environment where each child is encouraged to reach their full potential. The curriculum is robust, providing both challenges and opportunities for growth, particularly in math and reading, where the scores are among the highest in NYC.One of the standout features of PS11 is the incredible parent involvement. The parent groups, especially the PS11 Dad’s group, are highly engaged and drive innovation and unity within the school. They even organize fantastic events like Parents’ Night Out, where they babysit the kids after school so parents can enjoy a well-deserved date night! It’s these kinds of thoughtful initiatives that make PS11 more than just a school—it’s a true community. We feel incredibly lucky to be a part of it!

I would rate my experience at this school as good because no one really bothers me but the teachers don't really spark any leadership and they are neutral with their approach to bullying
