I had a very disappointing experience with the school principal. The principal’s communication style was disrespectful, aggressive, and unnecessarily confrontational.It felt that there may be personal bias influencing decisions regarding my child, which is very concerning. A school environment should be fair, supportive, and free from personal prejudice.Unfortunately, the interaction felt dismissive and hostile. I hope this is taken seriously, as students deserve to be treated with fairness and respect. Overall, the school is good, but the principal leaves much to be desired.

I am writing to share my personal experience as a parent with several serious concerns regarding my child’s safety and well being at this school. My intention is not to attack any individual, but to ensure that all students receive the safe, respectful, and supportive environment they deserve.Over the years, my child has repeatedly reported incidents of bullying that, in my view, were not adequately addressed. Despite bringing these issues to staff members, I have seen little improvement in how these situations are handled.I have also experienced communication challenges with school leadership. In my opinion, there has not been consistent follow through when I have reported issues involving my child. This has left me feeling that some concerns are minimized or not taken seriously.One of the most alarming incidents involved my child being unaccounted for at dismissal. Staff were unable to explain who picked her up, and I later learned she had been left unattended with two other children while some staff were behind the building. As a parent, this was extremely distressing and raised major safety concerns.Additionally, my child has experienced physical injuries at school including a sprained ankle and having her hair cut by another student. While I understand schools cannot prevent every incident, I believe more active supervision and communication could have prevented or reduced the harm.I am sharing this review in the hope that the school will take a closer look at its supervision practices, communication systems, and bullying response protocols. Every child deserves a safe learning environment, and every parent deserves transparency and confidence in the people responsible for their child each day.I truly hope that improvements can be made so families feel supported and students are protected.

As a student at the moment of I.S 234, I'd like to say there are numerous insufferable teachers that add on to deteriorating students' mental health. Along with those teachers, some teachers do not act when it comes to students that are in conflict when they are told so. Additionally, there are various students who are very violent and take the opportunity to hurt others almost every time when it comes to it. For example, when the students are switching classes there are students attacking each other, personally these experiences frighten me very much and this makes the school more unsafe for my experiences. I wouldn't recommend this school if you want overbearing stress and bullying.
