This school is horrible, they have horrible funding and the school is just nasty in general, do not bring your kids here.

I am deeply disappointed with my experience at PS 279. The communication from the school is consistently poor, leaving parents struggling to stay informed about their children's progress and school events. Additionally, the school seems to lack teachers who possess both the experience and patience necessary to effectively engage and educate our students.One of the most concerning issues is the inadequate support for students with disabilities. These students do not receive the assistance they require to thrive academically and socially. This neglect is detrimental not only to the individual students but also affects the overall learning environment.Furthermore, the notion of family engagement at PS 279 feels disingenuous. The school promotes the idea of involving families, but in practice, it often comes off as just a facade, with minimal opportunities for meaningful interaction or involvement.Overall, I believe that significant improvements are needed at PS 279 in order to provide a better educational experience for all students and to foster genuine engagement with families.Safety and learning are ok here, but everything elese they need to do better.I am not even going to wait for the end of the school year to pull my children out.

I am a parent this will be my child's second year in this school and in my eyes this school was not prepared for my child the teachers she had act worst then the kids the principle acts of if she don't care me myself had several meeting with the and was never able to get the help my child needed sad thing I requested a transfer and was denied so i have to deal with them for the 2015-2016 school year.
