Ps 274 Kosciusko

I was very cautious about my son starting 3K, especially because he is speech delayed. I originally came across PS 309 because my daughter attends the charter school in the same building, and although I had some concerns due to the stigma around public schools, I am so glad I made the decision to enroll him here.My son is in a class with two teachers and two paraprofessionals, and he receives speech therapy three times a week. In just three months—from September to now—I’ve already seen real improvement in his speech and confidence. The support he receives is consistent, patient, and genuinely tailored to his needs.One of the things I appreciate most is how welcoming the staff is. So many of them make you feel like family the moment you walk through the door. It’s clear they truly care about your child, even when you’re not there, and that level of care and attention means everything to a parent.I’m incredibly thankful for PS 309 and the progress my son is making. I highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a supportive, caring, and dedicated environment for their child.

I would definitely say a 10 because if the staff. The staff works diligently and efficiently! However, a lot more support from DOE and the community leaders would be a great deal! The school needs more funding for afterschool programs and equipment for not just the students but the staff as well! I really put my trust into the Teachers, School Safety Agents and other Staff members from 0820 to 1420 Monday thru Friday and I can honestly say I have yet to have been let down! I however would like to see more from the Community Leaders and DOE!

While I were here for afterschool, I had a great time and also learned more while listening.
