Memorial Middle School

School #27 maybe one of the best schools in Paterson but they need to address the problems with teachers not teaching, getting rid of the new principle Mr. Puglise and bullying. I honestly feel ever since this new principle came to the school he has not dealt with the issues. I don't feel he can improve the school and honestly they should think about replacing him. Many parents have complained and I feel he is just not doing anything to better the school. As far as bullying that issue is definitely there my kids have been bullied and no one has helped with the situation I'm definitely thinking about taking them out they say there going to handle it but it just continues. Also some teachers not all need to focus on really wanting to teach our kids instead of just worrying about a paycheck. You definitely do have ones that do want to teach our kids but there's those that give a bad name to the ones that are there to truly teach. Signed concerned parent

I wish there was no star at all. I strongly advise parents who care about their kids, their education and psychology, not to risk them by sending to this school. So many incidents are happening in school and kids are not being treated fairly and equally, some educators have no manners especially the principal in school has bad mouth, criticizing little ones cruelly and not knowing how to handle elementary students I also want to add that my kid’s teacher was threatening students by sending them to the Principal thats why Kids are afraid of telling anything to her. Teacher wasn't allowing kids to say a word.

My two little ones have attended this academy since preschool. I couldn't be more happy and satisfied with the academic and religious education they are receiving. They are welcomed with a smile and greeted by their names at the door. KNOWING THAT MY KIDS ARE IN A SAFE ENVIROMENT is the most satisfying feeling I can not express it enough. When I see the 7th and 8th graders holding the hands of the preschoolers and taking them to prayer and taking care of there fellow school mate just makes my heart feel so warm ,, I am very grateful for this school, its staff, teachers aides and parents that care so much to make this school amazing ,,, and I look forward to many years to come.
