On September 30th of 2025, my son was placed in restraints with his hands behind his back by the security at ps 224. I was told that my son was displaying behavioral issues that is why the restraints were needed. My son has never had any behavioral issues at all until he got to ps 224. It is so bad until the point where my son does not want to go back to school. The staff at the school kept telling me that my son was banging his head and throwing objects across the floor he has never displayed any of this behavior until he got to ps 224 and he has only been in the school less than a month. The staff is very disrespectful and they are not capable of handling certain situations when it comes to a student showing this type of action. My son is only 7 years old and he is very traumatized about what happened to him at ps 224.

This was a horrible experience. The professionals are unprofessional, rude and unwelcoming. They dim kids lights at this school and are breeding future convicts. If you care about your child, find another school. It was the best thing I ever did!

They don’t care for students or workers. I worked for them one day as a sub para was disrespected by teachers!! They let their autistic kids run free all over the school and don’t care. They haven’t paid me for the day I worked too! Reported them ASAP. Shut the whole school down.

Bad. Bulling is very common in this school my kids don't feel happy there I would not recommend it to anyone.

IMLCS is unlike any other charter school, IMLCS is truly amazing. My leader is being educated, loved and appreciated by his teachers. My son has excelled in all areas and I appreciate every staff member, Principal Thompson has a great team of educators working by his side. The atmosphere that IMLCS offers a leader makes them feel proud of learning and achieve goals academically. I am happy to have found a school that offers such an amazing experience for my leader.

Special Needs Early Childhood. Has experience children with autism. Good School and might have a waiting list because its small and quaint.
