Alexander D. Sullivan No. 30 Elementary School

It is a very good school compared to the other schools in Bayonne. The teachers in Washington care for the students and give all their dedication.

This is my son's second year at the school and he is thriving. He loves going there and seems to have a great time learning and interacting with other children. Communicating with the teachers is no problem and I feel like I'm always in the loop on my son's progress.

I witnessed a school security roughly handing a 2nd grader max I would immediately file a lawsuit if that was my child. He grabbed a crying student tightly and roughly by his arms and yanked him to get across the front sign out desk. I would expect that poor baby boy to have bruises when he gets home by the way that grown man handed that child. School drop off aren’t safe nor after school pick ups. I would not have a bunch of adults not even verified if they are actual parents stand in a courtyard to get children. And especially 1 teacher can not watch all students and make sure of safety. Same for morning. Teachers aren’t aware. I WOULD SHUT THIS SCHOOL DOWN OR CHANGE UP

P.S.20 would be a happier and healthier environment under different leadership. I’ve witness the principal speak down to the female staff, and mock the children. My family transferred here from NYC, and if it wasn’t for the relationships my children built with their teacher, I would’ve removed them. I highly doubt Mr ileya have children or even likes them in that case. I also get a “hello” when I’m wearing my business suit, on the days I work from home and wear a sweat suit he treats me in accordance to his perception. Other parents feel the same about the lack of leadership on the principals behalf, I even recorded his “ death stare of disgust” when looking at children unaware he’s being watched. I give the school 4 stars due to the teachers.

This school has shown strict environment when it comes to behavior people are never out of line and if they are will be excused and handled by the vice principal or principal of James f Murray school
