Our daughter loves going to school and the teachers are very nice and caring.
Posted by a parent on 3/1/2025My autistic daughter was in the special education classroom ( classroom no.253 under Ms.Pessoa & Ms.Vidal ). The way they handled her learning, behaviour training, occupational training - I was very satisfied.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school definitely teaches better things, but teachers need to pay attention to the bullying. My younger cousin was getting bullied and no one did anything about it, until his mother had to say something. They have fun activities and shows, but they need to get better at hosting them. Provides free bus tickets for students that need it, but only if you live far enough. The whole mental health thing doesn’t even help, the counseling is supposed to make it better but it really makes no difference, so they need to fix that. However, you can definitely make friends here, and can have an amazing time. They host many things, occasionally host field trips (for middle school..), and other fun events. Decent education.Student Review1mo ago - Nicolas Copernicus No. 25 Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSchool is good, my both kids study here. Some teachers have more focus on academics than others but overall they are supportive and kind. School has “hope” section for academically good students in 3rd to 5th grades. In hope sections students get a bit more challenging study material. Principal Pistillie is supportive of parents concerns and tries to solve them.Parent Review1y ago - Alfred E. Zampella No. 27 Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI noticed many reviews of PS 28 are from 10-15 years ago. Thought I would update with a current experience. We LOVE PS 28. We have three kids here. We find that almost all the teachers are accomplished and VERY dedicated. The principal (Ms D) is fabulous - we are so lucky! She is a former lawyer who is incredibly warm and responsive to kids and families. The kid and family community is full of EVERYONE- which feels like such a lucky thing for kids to experience. Our older kid got into all the fancy test-in middle schools - but we chose to keep him here instead. It’s a wonderful learning community. No school is perfect - but this one is pretty great.Parent Review1mo ago - Anthony J. Infante No. 31 Elementary School
