Leon M Goldstein High School For The Sciences

I rate this school average because as long as you are not special needs or need too much help you will survive this school. If you have any type of disability enter at your own risk. I think they are more geared towards learning and intellectual disabilities. If you are on the autism spectrum, I suggest you connect with the school based support team to see if this school is appropriate for you. If not, I suggest you get your child to a neuropsych evaluation to determine where you should go. Otherwise you will spend a lot of time torturing your kid for no reason. I know that you want as parents what is easy for you but unfortunately special education services are farther and it would be best to go farther and make your kids life easier. And if they want to take your ICT services away please speak up because the further your kid goes in school it is going to be difficult for your kid as demands increase.

This review is for Maya Manashirov-pre k teacher. I would give this teacher less when one star if I could. This teacher operated/ operates on bribes. She offered me to take her tutoring service, and since I did not take it, she tried to kick my son out of the school. I am sure I am not the only one like that. I think doe has to investigate her and permanently suspend her teaching license. (It was in 2016-2017 school year)

The school mysteriously brought in an Assistant Vice Principal a month before the school year ends. He has never taught or worked in a school in the U.S, not an issue but should be considered when judging others.. On his first week of work; he believes he knows enough about the school to determine which teachers are worthy of continuing. He tries to intimidate and bully teachers by staring into their classrooms several times per day ( observing shouldn’t feel like harassment). He speaks condescendingly to others.We have had a broken copy machine for a week and it’s the only one on campus, broken smart boards for months, no benefits , low wages yet these issues that lower morale goes unaddressed. The school says it’s multicultural yet there is a very clique like culture which is felt strongly amongst staff. There is a high turnover in staff members. Student body and parents often want students to recieve high grades they didn’t earn and many teachers are let go for standing their ground. The main principal is a good man but his authority is strongly governed by the board members of the school. There has been problems with paychecks in the past ( late, bounced checks etc...) Does this sound right?

We where extremely happy, especially when it cam to dealing with the staff.

Not recommended this is not an official yeshiva

We are incredibly happy with our experience at Mazel Day School! From the moment we enrolled our son, we felt welcomed and supported by the dedicated staff and warm community. The teachers are not only knowledgeable but also genuinely care about each child's growth and well-being.The curriculum is engaging and enriching, striking a perfect balance between academics and Jewish values. Our son has made wonderful friends and has grown so much, both academically and personally.We appreciate the school's commitment to creating a nurturing environment where our child feels safe and inspired to learn. We couldn't ask for a better educational experience for our family. Highly recommend Mazel Day School to any parents looking for a caring and supportive school!
