6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageTalent Unlimited High School (TUHS) is a great school. My child is quite happy with the school and the Dance Studio she is in. Staffs and administrations are great, very organized and supportive. We are happy with the school's management of both academics and arts. We strongly recommend TUHS.Parent Review2y ago - Jhs 167 Robert F Wagner

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AveragePersonally, I would not recommend this school. As a student I can defidently say that this schools safety is horrible. There's fights everyday inside and outside school. I also almost got into a fight in the middle of the yard and the staff were nowhere to be seen. Another topic I'd like to talk about is the education. Wagner's education is honestly not that good. As a student with an average grade of 90's I can assume how teachers just don't care about their jobs and students education and how little students learn about certain topics.Student Review5mo ago - East Side Elementary School, PS 267

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWow - We are SO impressed with this school at every level. From the teaching, to the academic rigor to the leadership of the school. We are new to the school and have been thrilled thus far with our decision to move our child here. The principal of the school provides so many opportunities for families to play an engaged role with their child's teacher(s) and educational continuum. She is so very thoughtful and approachable and runs a well-organized school. Our child's teacher is engaging, warm and so very talented and creates an environment where the children are set up to succeed as learners and as people. The PA leadership is highly invested in the school and its community providing wonderful opportunities for the children to learn but also have a lot of fun. My child loves going to school and his academics have improved exponentially since joining PS267. You absolutely cannot go wrong with this terrific school!Parent Review1y ago
