Ps 123 Suydam

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this school and the incredible support my family has received. As a parent of a child in Special Education, finding a school that truly understands, values, and supports children with diverse needs is everything — and this school does exactly that. I feel heard, respected, and included. The staff is compassionate, patient, and committed to helping every child succeed in their own unique way. My daughter has grown not only academically, but socially and emotionally as well. The progress she has made is a direct reflection of the dedication and care of the educators here.I especially want to recognize Ms. Hynes. She has been nothing short of amazing. She is supportive, approachable, and genuinely listens to my ideas and concerns as a parent. It never feels like my voice is dismissed — instead, it feels like we are working as a true team. She consistently shows that she values parent collaboration and understands that we all share the same goal: helping our children thrive.As a Special Education parent, that level of partnership means everything. Ms. Hynes takes the time to communicate, problem-solve, and ensure my daughter’s needs are being met. Her leadership and compassion make a real difference.I am truly grateful to be part of a school community that prioritizes inclusion, collaboration, and student growth. This school has created an environment where my daughter feels supported, understood, and empowered — and for that, I am deeply thankful.

Best elementary school in Ridgewood. Had my son at 239Q and it was a total nightmare. He has an IEP for a self-contained setting and has made incredible progress. Principal Diamond is the best and has chosen excellent, knowledgeable and supportive staff in her school. Highly recommend

They lie , steal, and cover up the fact that a majority of their teachers are not even qualified to teach
