9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AveragePS16 in Jersey City will be our reason to move from Jersey City. I am really surprised how the school still holds a high rating, since the system is shockingly disappointing. The school is extremely under-resourced, classes are so crowded (ratio 30:1) that kids need to sit on a rug on the floor during school hours, after school programs are offered to barely 5% of the students and, most importantly, teachers are not communicative and under skilled. Unfortunately, the list could keep going. We had very high expectations, both my husband and I are PhDs and we do understand the importance of a good education system, especially at this age. The school is completely failing its mission, the kids will be heavily affected by this situation. I am envisioning a very quickly approaching drop in ratingParent Review5mo ago - Stevens Cooperative School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe love Stevens. My son's been a Stevens students for over one year now. (He started in K and now a first grade student) I really enjoyed the progressive learning philosophy and I believe that's how kids can learn efficiently and actively. I also really enjoyed how they focus a lot on kids' social-emotional skill development. I have already recommended Stevens to a lot of my friends in the neighborhood.Parent Review2y ago - World of ABC the Waldo School
