This school is terrible. Some people make a genuine effort, but it is just too disorganized. There is not enough support for teachers, not enough classroom management, and not enough effort made in communicating with families. If you can help it, send your child somewhere else.

I attended this school when i was in kindergaden through 5th grade and i honestly can say they were the best 6 years of my school life. I still wish i can go back in time and live those years a little more. The teachers were great some of them showed tough love and were strict but it helped me. I'm now a senior in H.s and still live 2 blocks away I pass through the school every morning to take the bus to my H.S and I can say that its not the school who arent paying attention to the kids but also the parents. Dont motivate your kids I hear some young kids talking about wanting to cut school , It's a 50/50 responsibility when it comes to learning theres school to learn in then theres home training , and the ones i seen definately do not have home training. Maybe if as parents you would help your kids out and not depend on teachers to do everything like also helping the kids with the home work everything would be good. My step siblings are coming from DR this summer to live here in Ny and im trying to Convince my dad to enroll them in Ps.85 thats how much i love and enjoyed the school. Everytime i walk by its a trip to memory lane with a smile on my face

I am a parent who also works for the NYDoE. I wanted my son here because this is supposed to be one of the top five high schools in the Bronx. However, the unwritten policy of this school is ZERO communication with parents. I made a few calls during the Summer, but I never got a living human being to respond. I left messages, nobody ever called me back. My son turned in the blue card with the new address, but I still haven't received the progress report. They might have sent it to the old address. I have called the school to speak with one of the counselor, but what I get is the answering machine. I called the office to verify the change of address, a woman transferred my call, then somebody hung up on me.The school might be good, but this LACK OF COMMUNICATION IS UNACCEPTABLE. I mentioned it to one safety officer, and he said that this was a problem with BELMONT.I have to get my daughter out of this place.
