Esta escuela es asombra cada profesor es único especial. Estoy encantada con la escuela

PS 340 is an exceptional school in the Bronx! It offers rigorous and impressive reading, writing and math curriculums as well as many enrichment opportunities for students. All of the staff members are very welcoming and supportive of parents and their families. I looked up their achievement on state tests, and they perform better than other schools in the district. A wonderful school to send your child too!

This school has the heart! With the teachers and staff who have the strongest backbones and the biggest heart. I have witnessed some of our most challenging years as educators not only in our school community but in this country at large. Yet, we are still standing and thriving amidst this pandemic. Every single person from the principal to the lunch lady, from the teachers to the janitors want to see every single student succeed. The dedication this staff puts in every single day to show up for each student touches my heart on a daily basis. Everyone here is a true hero. The staff aren't just here for the jobs - they care for every student, as if they were their own child. P.S. 246 has really pioneered the importance of Social Emotional learning, especially during the height of the 2020 pandemic - when students, families and staff needed it the most. Everyday this school is looking to learn new ways of providing quality education and guiding resources for students and families to succeed. If you walk through the school doors, our art teacher painted the great words of R.B. Fuller, “There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it's going to be a butterfly.” That is how we treat each person that walk through these doors. Everyone has so much unlocked potential, and we are here to stay and nurture the seeds of knowledge and watch everyone grow to their true and highest selves.

My school is located at the Walton Campus. It is the only school that requires uniforms so it helps prevent gang activity within the school. It offers four AP classes also college now classes. There's someone in charge that deals with internships and scholarships. There are volleyball, basketball, baseball, softball and tennis teams for each gender. Something unique is that my school is bilingual and offers opportunities to perfect more than just one language.

Teachers work so well together and focus on Restorative Justice Approach and mediation with students. There's great team work between the staff and also together with the children. One area that we need to improve on as a school community is parental involvement. However, we've been working hard on bringing more parents into the school such hosting monthly meetings with the principal for parents (Tea with the Principal, for example). It's important for schools and homes to work together for the success of each child. Overall, I enjoy working here at EFAA and every year just keeps getting better and better!
