My child goes to this school and I have to say I am extremely happy with the teachers and the principal. I have heard awful things about this school and was nervous to send my child here. The school is great and my son loves it. His teachers are very nice and helpful. Great communication. This school has gotten such a bad reputation. I do not have a bad thing to say about this school. I know a lot of other parents who feel the same as I do. The school is clean. Everyone is nice (principal, security, people who work in the main office, etc)

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!
