My son Alex is entering his third year at Brinckerhoff and we couldn't be more pleased. The teachers, staff and PTA are so involved, they seem to be my son's family away from home. We look foward to another year and so sad to think that he only has four years left. Mrs. Platz is amazing and we are very fortunate to have her in charge of this fine establishment!

Excellent. We love this school and the whole district. We have many years teaching experience in a variety of schools. I taught in NYC and Chappaqua! This is the best you can get and at a bargain rate for your tax dollars!!!

This is by far the WORST school my children have ever been in. Bullying is an ongoing thing and staff turns their heads and act like they have no clue what is happening. My daughters 2 years here were genuinely the worst 2 years of her life. She endured relentless bullying from students, and every single time we went to the principal Gregory Vandecarr, he reassured me and my husband that the school was going to take action promptly, and that was never ever done. The kids were never held accountable and never received discipline, and the problem was never spoken about ever again. And the bullying never stopped. The bullying got so bad that in 2024 my daughter tried to take her own life. I fully believe that if something had been done to stop those kids that would have NEVER happened. Teachers, guidance counselors, even the drivers of the school bus my daughter was getting bullied on never said a word to these kids. Teachers heard my daughter getting bullied, bus drivers heard it, my daughter went to her guidance counselor about the bullying, and NOTHING WAS EVER DONE. My daughter got pushed down the stairs by a girl, and her head slammed into the brick wall, and when she used her phone to alert me and my husband while she was at the nurse, the nurses scolded her for telling us and that “this is the reason we don’t allow phones in school, because you guys tell your parents before we have a chance to” mind you, my daughter had been in the office for an HOUR, when were you going to call us and tell us?!!! Never. They were trying to refuse me and my husband to pick her up from school to take her to the doctor because “she was fine and there wasn’t anything to be done”. This school is vile and should NOT have the awards for anti bullying and other things like they do. They are completely false and should be removed immediately.
