Less than humane. Staff requires training in empathy, communication and proper leadership. Serious changes is needed. No, are mandatory for the survival of this school. If parents continue transferring their children out of this school in such great masses and the school continues to lose funding it will eventually close.

As a parent of straight-A, honor roll students, my experience with the leadership at PS/IS 66 was an absolute nightmare of administrative incompetence, dishonesty, and safety failures.This is a dangerous, toxic, and deeply devious environment for children. The moment a parent advocates for their child, the administration responds with hostility and bureaucratic retaliation against the student.The principal and the entire leadership team actively manipulated official school safety records in the Online Occurrence Reporting System (OORS) database to protect institutional metrics at the expense of student safety. When a 6 grader made explicit weapon against my children, including a terrifying threat directed at my 3rd grader , the school administration intentionally scrubbed the threats from the official OORS database. Instead of addressing the safety crisis, they split the single event into separate reports to sanitize the files, leaving fabricated entries to frame the victim as the aggressor. This situation required formal escalations to citywide oversight agencies, filings under Chancellor's Regulation A-820, and an active complaint with the U.S. Department of Education Student Privacy Policy Office (SPPO) regarding data integrity. Even when presented with written proof of factual contradictions in their own statements, the school and district leadership refused to correct official safety logs and denied mandatory appeal procedures.Students are targeted by staff who prioritize sanitizing safety reporting over protecting children. I have removed my children from this school, and I urge all prospective parents to avoid this school at all costs!
