Truly one of the best schools in Brooklyn, teachers and staff are competent and kind. Leadership is outstanding.
Posted by a parent on 11/29/2025The level of excellence at JhS 50 John D Wells exceeds all other schools NYC. The quality of the education the kids receive here is outstanding! Starting with their amazing Principal Mr. Honoroff to the teachers and staff this place deserves the best recognition. They really care about the students
Posted by a parent on 6/22/2022This is a school that has a completely dedicated staff. Junior High is a difficult time in young adults life. Students need the kind of role models I saw in the teachers there.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school lack proper teaching to prepare kids for the next grade. The kids are bullies and the teachers have favoritism towards the children. All the African American students face discrimination and it’s known in the community not to attend this school. My child would come home with scratches on her face and they broke her favorite water bottle then lied about it but refused camera footage. The kinder teacher was extremely mean and Im still furious about the situation. They cater to white families and the school has low percentage of diversity.Parent Review8mo ago - Ps 84 Jose De Diego

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe school is diverse and the administration encourages collaboration between families and staff. My children were in the dual language program from Kindergarten to 8th grade and graduated being bilingual. Parents need to also do the work and encourage their children to speak Spanish outside of school. There is a thriving Nest program for children on the autism spectrum. The Principal makes decisions based on student needs. Your child will be safe, love school and flourish at PS84!Parent Review9mo ago - PS 319 Williamsburg Early Childhood Center
