I’m a teacher and parent with 2 children here and I can’t recommend 321 enough. Administration is extremely supportive, thoughtful and organized. Teachers truly support one another and collaborate, and parent engagement is wonderful. Thoughtful curriculum engages students in all areas in a calm supp
Posted by a parent on 10/8/2024PS 321 is an excellent school if your child has no learning disabilities or social/emotional issues. It is also good if your child’s issues are prominent enough that a neuro-psych evaluation got you an IEP with extra instruction. Your child will benefit from the extra instruction and being in a soci
Posted by a parent on 10/6/2024I didn't appreciate how wonderful this school is until my children moved on in the school system. Liz Philips is wonderful. The teachers are engaged, and my kids have fond memories of their classes.
Posted by a parent on 3/31/2024My daughter went here years ago from Kindergarten until half of Second Grade. They lack diversity and were not accommodating to kids who needed the extra help. My daughter was diagnosed with ADHD in second grade, and was transferred to PS 133. There she received the help and support she needed to su
Posted by a community member on 9/20/2023PS321 has provided an amazing environment for my child. It’s the perfect blend of traditional and progressive-based education. We are privileged to be part of the community. Lots of engaged parents, Social-Emotional learning, diversity-learning (yes the school is not as diverse as it used to be, not

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur 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.Parent Review6mo ago - Berkeley Carroll School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur experience with PS 372 has been hugely disappointing. We thought we were joining an inclusive, warm, supportive school that would create space for differences and encourage students to grow at their own pace. What we found was a school that uses top-down behaviorist practices that expect young kids with disabilities to be able to self-regulate and conform without understanding their needs. Everything boils down to "making good decisions." Kids internalize being "good" or "bad" based on their ability to follow directives throughout the day. Yelling and shaming happen regularly when kids do not comply. The only outlets for play - choice time, recess and PE - are regularly taken away as punishment.The expectations placed on children are far removed from where they actually are developmentally. The school's founding mission of supporting children across a range of profiles and needs appears to have been abandoned. P.S. 372 has lost its way. Buyer beware.Parent Review1mo ago
