Ps 5 Dr Ronald Mcnair

Our son is currently in 3K at PS 137, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. The teachers are incredibly kind and attentive—especially Miss T, who has made such a positive impact in our experience there in 3K. Smallclass sizes are the best environment for kids and doesn’t feel like an overcrowded public school pushing enrollment. The PTA is very active, bringing in enriching programs like pasta making classes / activities to kids in class. The dance teacher, Ms. Davis, is amazing, and our son absolutely loves her class. The plus is, that as an LGBTQ family, we’ve felt genuinely welcomed and supported by the community. We plan on staying there throughout elementary as all the teachers seem fantastic. We couldn’t recommend PS 137 more—it truly feels like Brooklyn’s best kept secret.

My two children have attended this school since 2021. It is a lovely school with a lovely environment for both students and teachers. The staff is very committed to the growth of the students.

We are so happy our daughter is in this school. Unlike the busy public school our older son attended, we found this school calm, organized and not too overstimulating or loud. The teachers are caring, available for consult, and actively engaged with the students. Our family was hoping to find a space that helped our younger daughter adjust to public school after a smaller 3K experience and this school really delivered. This is a safe and calm space for our shy youngest, alongside a nice community of neighborhood families.

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.
