P.S. 221 is a Hip2B Healthy School. They offer programs to teach children about health living and eating right in addition to their normal educational programs. I attended one of the events for families where there was a chef from a three star restaurant teaching children how to cook healthy. The me

Posted by a parent on 9/13/2013P.S. 221 is a great school, you feel very welcome from the first day you step foot into the school. I can say this because that is the way I felt when my children attended the school and I still have the same feeling today. My nephew goes there now and the atmosphere is still the same. Go to 221.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy child went to this school last year and I was very unsatisfied. The leadership is very poor. Many of the staff members are older mean, rude and harsh when speaking and disciplining the students. There was only one school safety agent in the whole entire school. Also, the school didn't like parents coming to visit their child in the classroom. There was no extracurricular activities in the school such as basketball, art, dance, steelpan or music. The principal was very unwelcoming, unapproachable and unfriendly. I am so happy my child goes to a better school in another district.Parent Review2y ago - Ps 398 Walter Weaver

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughters attend school here and their staff is very unorganized and when calling the school or asking about your children. They have no clue about anything. I ask them questions about the children they have no answer for me and they have terrible attitudes. I don't understand why they are school staff if they don't even do their part. Today 3/6 I came to pick up my girls from school and they have a doctors appointment today and I go to the main office and they have no clue where they were or why after school program my daughters where in. The after school program is within the same facility. They should know all this information. This concerns their safety, why if there was a emergency. Security guards are on their phones taking personal calls, ignoring my attendance to pick up the girls. Like this is ridiculous and this is not how a school should be ran. Especially if this is a elementary school. These kids are young. This is a ongoing problem and the staff should get retrained or fired. Please address this to the school please.Other Review9y ago - Stars & Knights Day School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school was originally called Montgomery academy. My daughter attended for 1 yr. I must say the teachers are truly excellent. They are all loving caregivers but management are the worse. All they care about is tuition but they don't pay their staff. One day, in the summer, I went to get my daughter and the directors son was sitting between a caregivers legs doing his hair and the kids are sitting watching TV and one child was in tears. NO one moved when I walked in. That was one of the reasons I took my daughter out. 2nd reason is television in school in unacceptable. You are the teachers - please teach my daughters young mind. If it was not for that they would have a 4 star.Parent Review12y ago - Lubavitcher Yeshiva
