This school is ok, but not for all students. Some teachers are supportive, but no enrichment programs. PTA is very exclusionary and not communicative. Not inclusive for all families
Posted by a parent on 10/3/2024This school gives me so much nostalgia (only on 5th grade bc that's what I remember the most). My only complaint is the principal, she will genuinely make you cry and not feel bad. But despite her being a bad person, the whole school is amazing
Posted by a community member on 2/24/2024School outperformed the city and state average reading and math scorers by 30+%. Communication has improved significantly. The assistant principal provided a detailed plan of how the new curriculum will be applied with monthly updates. The school operates in an old building and the roof had to be re
Posted by a parent on 10/18/2023While the PTA and some staff try hard to create a good environment, it just falls flat. Communication is HORRIBLE. No feedback on first report cards, no knowledge of what kids are learning and odd choices from the administrators. There’s a big lack of diversity amongst teachers with only 1 male teac
Posted by a parent on 9/13/2023This is a terrible school. Basically, they made my son hate school, in general. It's not child centric. It's not engaging. It's not exciting. It's not fun. It's nothing like the schools in Park Slope or Carol Garden or other, good neighborhoods. P.S. 185 is perfect for your child if he/she is not cr

The positive reviews are planted to offset the negative honest review. If you ask around, you’ll hear about several horror stories.Parent Review2mo ago - Bay Ridge Catholic Academy

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AveragePoly Prep has been a complete disappointment. Teachers assign a large quantity of work, but most do minimal instruction. There are far too many "work periods" and not enough teaching. Having students work in groups on a packet or on a simple project during class time is not teaching. Assignments are not returned for weeks. One of my children waited 3 months to get their grade back on a paper. It's typical to wait 4-8 weeks to get a grade on an assignment. The choices for literature are not very interesting, and are all very similar in nature. The food is abysmal, and there are almost no field trips. I have no idea what they spend tuition money on. Well, the board's goal for this year is to increase teacher salaries by $1,000,000, so perhaps that is where the $65,000 per student is going. Middle school children are not allowed to go outside during lunch or even leave the cafeteria. I would not recommend this school. You can find much better places to send your children.Parent Review1y ago - Adelphi Academy
