4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI 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.Parent Review3mo ago - Jhs 278 Marine Park

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy 6th grade child got pizza thrown at her in the beginning of the school year in the lunch room. Then in December another child offered her to vape in the lunchroom. When my child said no and told someone. That kid attacked my child beating her up badly. The school has done nothing to help my child feel safe. The school Principal Ms Moser is an Awful school leader and should be removed immediately from further caring for these children's well being. I Do not think anyone who cares about their child should bring there kid here.Parent Review6mo ago - Ps 207 Elizabeth G Leary
