Central Brooklyn Ascend Charter

My daughter was here for first and second grade she had Ms. Fontaine and Mrs. Aris. They were amazing teachers. Mr.M was extremely helpful the guidance counselor also the principal and assistant principal was very understanding and really helped. This is a really great school and care about the kids. Only problem we had it had no G&T program so this is why we left. Over all the school made you feel like family. My daughter loved it here, we miss it!

We love PS 315. My son is happy in 1st grade at the school. His teachers strive to make the class engaging and interactive. I'm amazed by how much he is learning this year. He has music, art, dance, gym and even has a weekly class with the Dance Theatre of Harlem. The school community is very welcoming and warm. The PTA is growing and there are many ways to get involved. An amazing, large new playground will be finished in May - with new equipment, a track, basketball and outdoor classroom. The school Administration is really responsive to the parents.

Ms. Daniel Carter is the most fantastic thing that has happened to Phyl's Academy! I've toured this school for my older children and wasn't sure about the environment. After hearing about people's positive experiences, not just on her tour but with her as a classroom teacher, I have reconsidered and will be enrolling my child there. She's a tremendous asset, and I hope she is truly valued. I was shocked to find out that she was neither the director nor assistant director of the school but the Academic Supervisor, as she is highly decorated, has many accolades, and comes with many recommendations. She was extremely professional, informative, and warm during the tour. I can't wait for my child to start their journey with Ms. Carter being her teacher. She solidified my choice to send my daughter to Phyl's Academy!

We love the school! Great teachers, our child is happy. No issues.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience at Midwood Montessori. From the very beginning, we were welcomed into a warm, nurturing environment starting with a very thoughtful and detailed tour. Over the past two years, our daughter has absolutely blossomed—not only academically, but socially and emotionally as well.What makes this school so special is the deep care and intentionality of the teachers. They are incredibly loving, patient, and attentive, taking the time to truly understand each child as an individual. The program is thoughtfully tailored to meet children exactly where they are, supporting their unique pace, personality, and interests in such a sensitive and individualized way.We have watched our daughter grow in confidence, curiosity, and independence in ways that have exceeded our expectations. She comes home excited to share what she’s learned, and it’s clear how much joy she feels being part of this community.We are so grateful for the compassionate educators who have guided her so gently and thoughtfully. Their consistent communication, dedication, and genuine love for the children give us complete peace of mind. Choosing this school has been one of the best decisions we’ve made for our daughter and we always look back fondly at her time there.

I highly recommend Cortelyou Academy. My child attended both the school year program and the summer camp, and our experience was excellent. It’s a small, family-oriented school where I always felt confident that my child was safe, happy, and truly learning. The academics are rigorous, but the environment is warm and supportive. Children are challenged without being treated like they’re in the military (unlike that popular charter school). Cortelyou Academy has a great balance between high academic standards and genuine care for students.

This is the second year for my daughter at St. Jerome, we are very disappointed over all, teacher performance as the ones I have interacted with so far are always on their very expensive phones or iPads, The principal is only decorative, the Religious guidance is Zero, Security wise is as stressful as can be, everyday I just pray for my daughter to be safe when it's time for me to pick her up. I believe that a Catholic School should be a respectful, caring environment for kids to develop a sense of Family, Community, Service, Humility, Respect all that along with parents involved, me and my husband are looking for a new school for our daughter before is too late.
