Brooklyn Scholars Charter School

I write this review on my own will. My son is in first grade now and he has improved a lot here, in terms of his mathematical, critical thinking and linguistic abilities. One thing that impressed me, as a newcomer to this city, is the lesson tailored just to your child. I mean, if a student's ability is above the average, then the teachers could give more challenging tasks for him, compared to the others. In that sense, I just can't blindly trust the average ranking of the school because it tells nothing about how our children will perform in school.Overall, I recommend this school to everybody lives in the neighborhood. It's a great school with teachers who really care about their students.

Very bad environment at school. School leadership team is very careless. We the parents/guardians of the students are very helpless.

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.

Disappointing and often appalling. The school administration is highly inappropriate in its leadership.

The school is very nice but the teachers are not really nice and if there’s a girl teacher they usually favor towards girls and some of the deans can’t do there own job

Since my child started there for kindergarten, she has been doing great. Her teachers are amazing, supportive and caring. My 3 yr old started this year In 3k at the age of 2.6 years old and I am impressed at the progress she has made as the baby in her class. I really like this school for my children so far.
