Excellent school. There are some downsides, but they are minor and do not depend on the school. Cons: Schoolchildren smoke vapes in the toilet and sometimes even in the classroom. The school fights them, but without the possibility of expulsion from school, nothing will work. Pros: Maximum care for children: they gave out a sports uniform, a laptop, a lock for the cabinet, notebooks, pens. Everything is free. The teachers do not scold anyone, if you want to study, they will help and praise. If a student goes to school not to gain knowledge, no one will force him to study. Discipline is maintained at the school, there are security guards in uniform. During the year of study, my daughter has never seen fights or serious conflicts. The children are mostly friendly and welcoming. Special thanks to psychologist Marina, she supports Russian-speaking children in all matters and helps 100 percent. The other teachers and staff also do their job excellently. Thank you all and wish you health and success in your noble work!

..Well, as a former student of 7th-8th grade I didn't exactly have the greatest approach to the students of the school. I am exceedingly shy, and lacked to maintain "healthy" friendships with my peers. Every-so-often I was verbally bullied, (By both students and one teacher) and once threatened. Acts of bullying, however, were never reported BY me. I frequently told my mom how I felt in the school. (Good relationship with my mother.) My mom reported every incident, yet schools never took immediate action (or any action for that matter.) Just because of WHO told them. Other then that, I made a few friends, and had an alright overall experience..

Ps 78 is great, as of this coming June. i would've had 3 of my children graduate from here.The principle is the best, and a awesome person. The whole ps 78 staff is just amazing, including the school safety personal.
