I had high hopes for PS. 29.Every year my child’s experience has been radically different. There seems to little alignment as students move from grade to grade. There is no system or app that allows for fluid communication. While there has been some amazing teachers, the lack of social and emotional support for students compounded with the inability to keep students safe from harassment, would make me reluctant to recommend this school.

With providing, true, qualitative data: A true community of deep learning. If you looking for a school where you are expected to "fit the mold", look elsewhere. If you are looking for a school where you expanding the mold, look no further. BCS is part of a consortium schools with a longstanding, transformative educational framework, expanding on its already robust arts, science, ELA and Math programs. Also incorporated are innovative extracurricular enrichment programs for students to figure out how they contribute their time, talents and gifts to. Many students are able to find their place in the school from the very first day ( at student/family orientation, during school tours, first day of school) while some eventually find their path with the true guidance, support and encouragement that BCS' teachers, school admin leaders, staff and overall community provides. As a parent, it is a true honor and wonderful experience to behold when seeing the students in their element of overall professional presentation with PBATs. What they have been learning throughout the year/semester is dynamically put into their words, while simultaneously watching their analytical, critical-thinking, interpersonal, public speaking, effective communication and engagement skills in action. Every chance I get to walk through their halls, sit in their classrooms, and I walk many kinds of school halls and sat in many classrooms in NYC alone- its never a perspective of just another school, but actually preparedness for their future levels of life, whether its college or any structured paths that lead to their overall success. I highly recommend this learning environment to any student whose aims are to always level up.
