P.S.10 Magnet School for Math, Science & Design Technology

This school should be shut down. Everyday I hear stories of bullying and instead of helping the victim, they basically say to suck it up. Biases from authorities, frequent fights, and an environment where students dread coming to everyday. This is not how a school should be run. On top of being incredibly irresponsible, they are well aware of all their issues. During student evaluations, instead of allowing the students to say their true feelings and problems with the establishment, they told the students to lie. Why? Because they know if anyone else found out about these horrific conditions they're forcing the kids into, they'd be shut down immediately. If you love your children and don't want them to grow up insecure, confused, not to speak up, don't send them here.

We love PS925 - I've had two kids grow up here. The school is small - the teachers and admin know everyone. The atmosphere is welcoming, friendly, and supportive. The community of parents is great; there is lots of participation in the school and down-to-earth, inclusive atmosphere. The school is serving a diverse community and does it well.

I have two kids in the school this year and we absolutely adore it. It is not our zoned school and I am so glad we chose 124. It is a small school, which makes it feel like family. All the staff know my kids’ names and how to best engage them in learning. There is strong social-emotional support including free counseling through the CBO partner, Counseling in Schools. There is also low-cost extended care 3K-4K and free after school for K-5 through a partnership with YMCA. My children feel both challenged academically and safe in the school. There are many enrichment programs available as well including a full time art and music teacher as well dedicated science, social studies, and theater teachers; and external programs such as dance, improv, swimming, coding and Lego robotics, among others. Over the last two years, the school has shifted to incorporate more project- and play-based learning, recognizing that these are children and learning can take many forms, including how you interact with peers to strategize and solve math problems or read & write a story together.Of course every school has challenges, but it’s important to note that leadership is open to feedback and willing to work with individuals and families to best support them. The parent community is highly engaged, prioritizing family events over high priced galas and auctions. We love the diversity of the school — cultural, language, socioeconomic — as it reflects the broader NYC and global community. This is not something that can be said for other neighborhood schools. Highly encourage folks to check out the website (ps124brooklyn.org) or stop by for a tour.

most teachers are great, the younger teachers are the best teachers honestly, good environment and everybody knows eachother, like all the high schoolers and middle schoolers all know each other regardless of their grade the kids here are very easy to befriend. Islam is taught very well but the one problem will be that the kids here as of now aren't the best and they do bad things and i'd say its just what this generation has become, the kids here are no better then public school and this is coming from a person who has went to public school for 10 years.

A sinking ship. Don’t get on it.

Our family has had a wonderful experience at SSCA. We've had one child go through the entire elementary and middle school, and another one is currently in the middle school having been there since pre-K. They have grown into strong students and critical thinkers, and my high schooler is now thriving at an academically rigorous high school. SSCA is a warm school with a culture of kindness, genuinely caring teachers and very responsive administrators. And it has a surprising number of extra curricular activities for such a small school (a school chorus, a full school band, robotics team, debate team, track team, etc.) Our family has made life long friends and found a second home at Saint Saviour Catholic Academy.
