My son came to PS 295 this year as a fifth grader. Our family moved from out of state, and we were a bit nervous about how his first year would go given the many changes he was facing. Now that the school year has ended, I am so grateful we found PS 295 and feel compelled to write a glowing review about our experience.My son made tremendous academic and social growth this year because his teachers are genuinely invested in the well-being and success of their students. He developed a love for new subjects and gained confidence in his ability to persevere and advocate for himself. He has told me that he feels respected by all of his teachers, which has inspired him to challenge himself and strive for even greater success.As a parent, I have also felt supported and respected by the staff, especially by his teachers and the parent coordinator. When I requested additional academic support and evaluation, my concerns were thoughtfully considered and addressed in a timely manner. Everyone makes themselves accessible, creating a welcoming environment that truly feels like a partnership.I would recommend PS 295 to any family looking for a smaller, community-focused, hands-on learning experience for their child.
