P.S. 13 has been an incredible experience for our family. The teachers are truly hardworking and deeply committed to their students’ growth, both academically and personally. Their dedication shows not only in the classroom, but also in the thoughtful way they communicate with parents—always keeping us informed, involved, and confident in our child’s progress.My daughter absolutely loves her school and especially her teacher, which speaks volumes about the nurturing and engaging environment they’ve created. It’s clear that the staff genuinely care about each child’s well-being and success.What makes P.S. 13 even more special is the variety of fun events and activities throughout the year. These moments bring the school community together and create lasting memories for the students. It’s a place where learning is joyful, connections are strong, and children feel supported every day.

I had a horrible experience at this school. They’re telling my niece who is currently a student that I was a monster. My niece knows what was actually going on behind the scenes so how dare they try to change the narrative and destroy my character. I was being bullied and they did nothing!

I transferred my daughter to this school in March 2025 after a traumatizing set of experiences in a local middle village JHS Charter. The School we left had caused some serious emotional scars, and I was on the hunt for the best JHS for my daughter. I was invited to attend a parent meeting that was being held at IS77 (Tea with the Principal). In that meeting I meet 10 other parents who deeply cared about their school. They were so excited about the coming year and sharing all the success their children had experienced thus far and the plans for state test prep. The principal and the parent coordinator were seated and taking pages and pages of notes because these opinions mattered.There were teacher leaders in the meeting using their free period to listen to these parents. I had never seen such care. When i shared why a parent with no child in the building was there - the parent coordinator got up and called the main office and said, "send me a registration package". I was told not only would my daughter be welcomed with open arms - but they will also ensure her a seat in the honors program the following year, and they will work with me to get her any help (emotionally) she needed. It was a genuine care for a child they never met. JHS is tough years for our kids! Everything is changing - new demands - their whole being is changing - they need understanding and support in all the ways possible and IS77 OVER delivers in that regard. The parent community and family engagement is second to none - The Teachers are true rockstars! and these kids wow me every time with their kindness! I may have to just leave a review for the principal! Ms.P is an outstanding leader and is accessible to her community. I wish I would have taken the time to really get to know this school before I made the decision based on "old views" of this school. This is NOT the 77 you think you know! Ms P and her team will make time to welcome anyone who wants to learn about 77! and as a parent, I will always volunteer to do the same because of how much this school has helped me, help my daughter love school again!
