Garvey M Elementary School

at Barnard I would say that the teachers try their hardest to teach these students and make them a smart as they can be from what I seen when I came in the room.Its the children ,not all just some. And some of the students and only a staff member, when she would write the children up she would not hear the children story or try to argue with them. Other then that some children can be disrespectful and rude.

I think this school tries very hard to compete. The teacher seem to be engaged and concerned about the students. I enjoyed helping my children with there excessive homework. I believe in home work so this was a plus for Dunne. The children's safety is very important to the staff as well. They are encouraged to plan for college which leaves lasting affects!

Not well at all. I do no recommend to certain students, although some of the teachers are nice, respective, and teach well. Math and reading are great subjects that are taught well.

Granted these events took place years ago but I feel like it should be spoken about, a 1st grader was placed in cuffs in the school for a fight by a security officer Robert tower hired. Him and his best clown buddy Tyson would always pick on the male students and give special treatment to the female students. Threatening to slap me while I was a student and also threatening to toss me down the stairs. This might seem like I’m salty and I might be but do deeper research on your child’s school. Robert towner seems like a nice guy but he isn’t what so ever. Until a new principal comes in I wouldn’t recommend sending your child to this school

I grew up in Washington Heights. My years at Mt. Vernon I had excellent Teachers who cared about their students. My 3rd grade teacher is why I currently work for a school district in Illinois.

The staff makes the school the principal is very rude I think she thinks every parent that she comes across she has to talk to them in a disrespectful manner I kinda glad she declined my son offer letter she let her personal reasons for me come between my son education she does not accept accountability she interrupted me in a conversation which is very rude you are to let the person finish then you respond no she has to talk loud over you to get her point across which is not what I want my child to experience I want my child to understand in order to give respect you have to give it I don’t think many people are complaining about her enough because I’m sure with that type of leadership she has she shouldn’t be in the position again the staff is the reason it’s definitely not her if you deal with difficult parents you don’t take it out on other parents an I felt that’s exactly how she treated me she had WRONG information then when confronted she played victim an my child suffered
