St. Vincent Ferrer School

This school is horrible the school food is nasty my kid came home starving and her boyfriend had bad stomach problems. But the education is good the students never listen in class they stuff at the teachers even when the principal walks in there still loud its crazy please don't take your and if your attending please take them out immediately take them to Cunningham or Roy. This is not a bad school but the students are terrible.

Overall I feel that great things happening at PS 119. The administration is ahead of the game and making strides to find ways to help the children become better citizens overall. I particularly find it a great place for early childhood. I would not hesitate on sending your child here provided that you are prepared to give them extra academic support at home. Where as the academic climate is not as rigorous as I would like (until the 5th grade), the social climate is a strong one. Better than you will find at the majority of public schools. Biggest concern is that some of the teachers and school support staff in the building need an overhaul. However, overall it is a great learning environment that supports your childs social and emotional growth.

The principal and staff are very involved with their students. They send many correspondents and phone calls to keep parents aware of activities and meetings.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience at Midwood Montessori. From the very beginning, we were welcomed into a warm, nurturing environment starting with a very thoughtful and detailed tour. Over the past two years, our daughter has absolutely blossomed—not only academically, but socially and emotionally as well.What makes this school so special is the deep care and intentionality of the teachers. They are incredibly loving, patient, and attentive, taking the time to truly understand each child as an individual. The program is thoughtfully tailored to meet children exactly where they are, supporting their unique pace, personality, and interests in such a sensitive and individualized way.We have watched our daughter grow in confidence, curiosity, and independence in ways that have exceeded our expectations. She comes home excited to share what she’s learned, and it’s clear how much joy she feels being part of this community.We are so grateful for the compassionate educators who have guided her so gently and thoughtfully. Their consistent communication, dedication, and genuine love for the children give us complete peace of mind. Choosing this school has been one of the best decisions we’ve made for our daughter and we always look back fondly at her time there.

I highly recommend Cortelyou Academy. My child attended both the school year program and the summer camp, and our experience was excellent. It’s a small, family-oriented school where I always felt confident that my child was safe, happy, and truly learning. The academics are rigorous, but the environment is warm and supportive. Children are challenged without being treated like they’re in the military (unlike that popular charter school). Cortelyou Academy has a great balance between high academic standards and genuine care for students.
