New Utrecht High School

We are so happy with my daughter's learning experience. She is extremely happy with the teachers. Teachers are helpful. They answer very quickly. I'm so happy with P.S. 200.

My daughter has attended for three years now. She absolutely loves the school and the staff. Her teachers are a great encouragement and and the academic program is great.

The school's staff is very traditional and old school. The style of teaching is basic memorization and assigning a ton of meaningless work. They don't teach the underlying principals for the subjects that they are learning. They should try the Hunter's college TC program method instead. The principal is very new and very slow at implementing changes. He is also not very receptive to suggestions from staff nor parents. They do not believe in preparing the kids for the future and don't have any programs for STEAM. In fact, last year they fired a STEAM teacher and hired an extra gym teacher. Really? Gym is more important then math and science? Families are selling their homes in this beautiful quiet neighborhood partially because of the school. They really need to change things at this school.

Class of 68 , best education anyone could ask for . My parents could not afford to send me to a parochial high school, but when I got to a city high I was like a genius compared to others attending. This is a direct reflection of the education I received at OLG. I am still friends with my first grade buddy, we live in different states and get together regularly. The memories last forever. We still talk about the Nuns and the stations of the cross. I consider myself lucky to have attended OLG.

Its been years since I pulled my son out of this school and we are still dealing with the trauma he experienced at only 2.5 years old. The teacher was simply unexperienced and overwhelmed. My child did not feel loved. Not sure what the expectations are for preschool but their classroom rules were extremely severe. I was sent snippy notes and ridiculous things- my kid drooled or left crumbs! The teacher was not meant for that grade. Due to her own lack of capability she resorted to threats about my son getting evaluated. If your child is not cookie cutter - do not go here! Here’s the update, my son now age 6 is being assessed for a gifted and talented program. She couldn’t have been more wrong or useless. Horrible teacher and horrible human being. Surprising for a nun!
