Excelsior Elementary School

Great school. Supportive staff. My favorite school!

If I were able to say H** NO I wouldn't recommend this school I would gladly do so. This school is sad and lacking skills. The staff (not all) for one lack interpersonal skills. For a district to rave about black power and leadership, this school is surely doing a great job at failing the BLACK community. Its okay to rave about a black leadership but when a school system fails to do the bare minimum, why be so happy? This is a SHAME. The staff (not all) in this school are unjust. They will help the parents that they get along with and watch other parents suffer instead of lending a hand. The principal is just as worse. You are lucky if you were ever able to see her or speak with her. I am not saying that staff here is bad but they definitely don't care. Actions speak louder than words. THIS SCHOOL NEEDS TO BE EVALUATED. The parent coordinators are both poor advocates and it is just so unfortunate. Luckily, something will be done. Clearly, this school is not advancing and it has so much to do with the lack of care they have for the students they "serve". I do hope for a change because the children enrolled in this school with suffer drastically without any change.

Great! The teachers and staff really care about the students and there are a lot of activities for students to do!

Let me keep it all the way real, because parents deserve the truth, not sugar-coated nonsense.I came into PS 235 hoping for community, safety, and adults who actually show up for our kids. What I got instead? A whole circus with no ringmaster, and children paying the price.If you’re reading this trying to decide whether to send your baby here — let my experience be your blinking caution sign.Your child deserves safety.Your child deserves honesty.Your child deserves staff who actually care and PAY ATTENTION.PS 235 did not give us that.

This is a very good school especially if your child has learning challenges. The teachers works extremely hard with the students. The staff is very friendly and caring. The Principal and Vice principals are very visible and create an attractive atmosphere for learning.

I give this school five stars, my son loves it there, his teachers all of them are very accessible and can ask to meet them to discuss your child's progress and grades in the classroom. Also very friendly and hands on Principal Mr. Romain and Assistant Principal Miss Haynes. From Office staff to Teachers, parents can be more involved in building this school to the level it deserves to be viewed as. Overall I am very happy with this school and my second grader is even happier to get up and go everyday even during this crazy pandemic.

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!
