Eureka Park

I went to this school years ago at this point and I still have memories. With going there for 6 years and now being in high school, I can see that I've learned so much here. The staff was always nice and understood our age and tried working with us.

This school could be better if they chose to hire good genuine people who actually want to help children. This place needs new face with some positive youthful energy to keep these kids going. I know this is a low-income family school but there are many ways to go about guiding these children and improving their lifestyle. The people here are getting too out of date as if they can't keep up with today's society.

The staff at KGES is incredible. They are very focused on their students. They are very proactive and accommodating.

My two boys thrived in this exceptional learning environment provided by this outstanding school! Their educational journey was nothing short of amazing, filled with enriching experiences that have undoubtedly contributed to their growth and development. I wholeheartedly recommend this school to any parent seeking an unparalleled educational experience for their children. The dedication of the staff, the innovative teaching methods, and the nurturing atmosphere truly make it a gem in the realm of education.

I’m not sure how this school has so many great reviews. In my option it’s been awful. A lot of it is the school system itself, like closing for a voting day then adding 10 mins a day to the end of the school day for an entire month. Truly insane. I have two daughters kindergarten and 3rd grade, and both of their teachers give them weekly homework packets. It’s just busy work! Half the time it’s not even relevant to current lessons. Teachers clearly aren’t using their time wisely and expect parents to do homework every single night. Oh and don’t even get me started on the CONSTANT flyers or random events I get weekly about raising money for the school. I DO not recommend this school at all.

This school is not a good option for special education. Communication is terrible. There is a lack of support regarding students needs. I am having problems with this school that I have never had anywhere else nor in my childs entire life. It is extremely frustrating and disappointing.

This review is for families starting mid-elementary school and does not pertain to the music teacher, who is brilliant.Anyone with a high-achieving child who is not starting in kindergarten, I urge you to look anywhere else in the Great Neck, Kings Grant, or Shore Drive area. These teachers and administration do not advocate for these children. Classes are overcrowded, and gifted programs are administered disproportionately and not aligned with test scores.The principal constantly tells us his hands are tied, and their choices have had regrettable consequences for our daughter’s education. Our daughter received higher scores to get into ODS than children they allowed in from the supposedly more gifted classes. They do not communicate at all and don’t seem to have the time or energy to work with parents. Unless there is a change in the administration, I would avoided all costs.
