This school doesn't really care about the well-being of a student academically. The teachers are somewhat engaging, and some don't teach well. Every day I'm discouraged to learn because of the way the school is. I wouldn't recommend your child stress I have as an 8th grader, I shouldn't have to stress about how I'm going to get my homework done late at night because teachers don't put into consideration that we have 6 classes. Too much stress as a kid and the teachers don't make me enjoy going there.

Dante B. Fascell Elementary School holds a very special place in our family. My children are alumni, and I always knew I wanted my grandchildren to have the same experience my kids had and it has truly been just that and more. The staff and administration are friendly, welcoming, and approachable, creating a warm environment from the moment you step onto campus. Every morning, students are greeted by the principal and vice principal, which speaks volumes about their leadership and commitment to the children. It’s amazing to see the same care, values, and sense of community continue through generations. We are so grateful for this school.

This school is genuinely so harmful towards students with mental health issues as they do not care for mental health. Are you depressed? Convince your parent not to come because you miss two days for said depression they will NOT care. They claim to do so and even have clubs but you try to talk with someone and all they do is give a scripted line and call your parents. My friend missed a few days because she was at the HOSPITAL for her mental health and they did not care and expelled her. It’s truly disgraceful how they don’t care for their students and all about attendance, uniform, and trying to keep a good reputation knowing full well majority of their students are struggling . Although that lies on the students behalf as well, they do not try to be involved. Do not get me started on teachers as well. Majority are dismissive, lazy, and harsh. The amount of teachers who think playing only videos and not teaching or reading the assignment without explaining (literally just reading questions and lazily repeating it in a way to seem like it’s different) is teaching. Only few teachers here actually care and that’s a very small minority. Don’t be late too you’re late by a SECOND and they act like you skipped class. They have a very serious strict attendance requirement and some teachers force you to get a late pass if you’re a little late. I understand some cases is on us but some people don’t have proper transportation like me! And the kids- don’t even get me started. You wanna avoid the genuine rude kids and disrespectful ones that think being rude to the teachers is funny? Take hard classes. Only way to avoid them is going into AP classes and some still manage to sneak in. It’s so tiring being a student here and it’s ruined my mental health so badly that I’m struggling in my classes because I don’t have the energy or will to do my work because these teachers are so useless. Just to make this clear I’m not failing any classes. To make sure this review is not out of anger though I’m sure you can sense some of it. Anyway don’t come to this school. Not worth it
