Hi I use to be a student in P.S 206 Jospeh J Lamb. Though this school is old and have good acamedics. The people in there is not worth it! I report stalking and bullying, they did nothing. All they get was a call home. This school would only be good for you if your popular or on everyone good side. Rules are very strict and the stricter the rules are, the more the students will disobey and cause chaos

I had a very disappointing experience working at this school. The environment was extremely toxic, unprofessional, and stressful from the moment I started. The administration, especially the principal, created a culture based on intimidation instead of leadership. Staff members were frequently spoken to disrespectfully, yelled at publicly, and made to feel unsupported. Professional concerns were often dismissed instead of properly addressed.The principal’s behavior toward teachers and staff was completely inappropriate for someone in a leadership position. There was constant tension throughout the building, and many employees were clearly burnt out, overwhelmed, or looking for a way out. The turnover rate speaks for itself — teachers and staff leave constantly, and it’s easy to understand why once you work there.The scheduling changes and daily expectations were chaotic and poorly organized, making it difficult for both teachers and students to succeed. Staff were expected to “figure it out” without proper support, communication, or teamwork. Co-teaching support was inconsistent, and many teachers were left carrying the workload alone while administration ignored the real issues happening inside classrooms.What was even more disappointing was the lack of meaningful support when problems were brought up. Even the UFT chapter leader acknowledged how toxic the environment was, yet nothing ever improved. Instead of helping staff feel valued and supported, the culture made people feel anxious, disposable, and constantly on edge.This school desperately needs better leadership, accountability, and respect for staff. There are good students there who deserve stability and support, but the administration creates an environment that makes it difficult for both teachers and students to thrive. I would strongly advise anyone considering employment here to do extensive research before accepting a position.
