There are notable areas of concern regarding the school’s administration and leadership practices that have impacted the overall school culture, teacher morale, and communication.One of the main challenges at P.S. 32 appears to be a lack of consistent and transparent communication from administration. Teachers often feel decisions are made without adequate collaboration or input from staff, which can lead to confusion, inconsistency in expectations, and frustration. This top-down approach has, at times, created a climate where staff feel unheard and undervalued, limiting opportunities for genuine teamwork and shared problem-solving. Leadership that is more collaborative and responsive could strengthen the school community and lead to more cohesive implementation of initiatives.Another concern is the uneven support teachers receive when addressing student behavior or academic challenges. While some administrators are proactive and visible, others appear disengaged or unavailable when issues arise. This inconsistency can make it difficult for teachers to feel supported in maintaining a positive learning environment. A stronger administrative presence within classrooms—focused on partnership and professional growth rather than solely compliance—would help foster trust and improve both teacher and student outcomes. Stay away.

This school has come a long way over the years. After building a whole new art wing section to the school I feel it really tuned the school around to become one of the top HS in Staten Island

Truly enjoyed my time at this school. It was an awesome three years!
