Posted by a parent on 9/3/2025I was a former student of JEMS 126 and the school almost changed my personality. The students did nothing more than used me for answers for their assignments and I was usually bullied because I’m autistic, my self interests such as learning various subjects or my mixed ethnicity.

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 18 Edward Bush

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI love PS 34 and the community it fosters. It is a small but mighty school that feels like a village. The teachers and administrators are all very strong educators who foster a safe, challenging and warm environment for our kids. I am so happy our son is at PS 34 and can not wait for our daughter to join him!Parent Review2y ago - Ps 110 The Monitor

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIf you are black please do not send your black child here. They allow the white kids to be physically abused and violent towards black students without really support. The principal will gaslight you like she’s concerned buts she’s not. Protect your black children from this blatantly racist school.Parent Review8mo ago - Ps 132 The Conselyea School
