We recently moved to Yonkers and at first I had my reservations. Coming from NYC where public schools have better rankings I was a nervous wreck. Going to the open house and hearing first hand from Principal Amertrano what the school stands for and it's mission was just what I needed to know that my son Jayson was in good hands. He is a wonderful Principal and the kids love him. During the school book fair the kids were stopping Mr. Amertrano to get his attention and show him what books they bought. Mr. Amertrano listened them and was engaged with each one of the students. Mr. Amertrano is passionate about leading Enrico Fermi into success for the good of all students. The Enrico Fermi team will bring the school to where it needs to be. Helping students of all ethnic groups reach their goals. Mrs. Gallego my son's 5th grade teacher is extremely knowledgeable. I love her concept of Gallego dollars. The students earn Gallego cash through participation, homework, good behavior and extra credit. The first of the month $50 Gallego dollars of rent is due to remain in the classroom. My son Jayson loves the challenge especially when he makes extra Gallego cash and he can pay his rent and has lots of Gallego cash to spare and spend on a toy. She pushes the kids to be the best they can be. I'm glad my son is part of the Enrico Fermi Community.

Barack Obama School is truly a great school. I absolutely love the new principal and everything he brings to the table. His leadership, vision, and dedication to the students really show, and you can see the positive changes happening throughout the school.The staff is supportive, the environment is welcoming, and there is a strong focus on student growth and success. If you’re considering this school for your child, you won’t be disappointed. I highly recommend Barack Obama School to any parent looking for a nurturing and well-led learning community.
