"This is the ultimate for beach living. My neighbors are awesome. It's close to the train that goes into times square without any transfers. The ferry will also take you to the city. Shops popping up all the time. Board walk is great for running, biking, walking all year round. Your dog will love running the beach in the winter. "

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy overall experience at this school has been a good one. While the school faces many challenges as noted in the statistics, the community supports it and tries to make it the best school. It is welcoming and gives children a place they feel is home.Teacher Review6y ago - Goldie Maple Academy

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOverall horrible except for cluster teachers and a few teachers this school is not good. The lack of communication to parents is at an all time low. The parent coordinator Ms. Coleman used to be good as well and she seems to have adapted the same unprofessional attitude as the leader in this school. It's sad to think that checking on the status of your childs education is a problem.Parent Review6y ago
