"It’s very family friendly. There are lots of nice and kind people in this neighborhood. There are parks(ex: Marine Park and the PS 207 park). The kids are nice and so are the schools. It feels like your not in New York City even though you are. So it’s great for people with families or those who want to start a family."

"There are pet grooming services and supply stores in the area. But there are dog parks nearby. Only a main park but it is large enough for dogs to run and play."

"No access to trains, you have to take a bus to anything, including other forms of commute. However there are many buses that run through the area so you can find any connection you need. "

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy mom was a lunch aide at this school for almost 20 years and my daughter has been going here since Pre-K. My mom passed in 2018 and my daughter begged me to keep her enrolled here because she felt "safe". Worst decision of my life. My moms personal belongings from her locker went missing. We were promised support and therapy for my daughter - never happened. Staff members would continuously ask her about my mom when she asked them not to. She's been bullied. This year being her last year there her classroom or my sons classroom was constantly closed due to COVID. My infant son ended up in ICU after contracting it from his sister. Then shortly after this past April/May she was ICU and what does the caring staff do - call ACS. Upon her return to school she calls me from the bathroom crying saying a lot of the teachers including the assistant principal aren't speaking to her. My daughter is very well known at this school so she took this very personal. This school has went downhill ever since Ms Esposito left. The new principal does nothing for the children, doesn't engage with families and the school is just a mess. Avoid sending your child here if you can.Parent Review3y ago11 Reviews - Mary Queen of Heaven Catholic Academy
