Sts. Peter - Paul Elementary School

This school lack proper teaching to prepare kids for the next grade. The kids are bullies and the teachers have favoritism towards the children. All the African American students face discrimination and it’s known in the community not to attend this school. My child would come home with scratches on her face and they broke her favorite water bottle then lied about it but refused camera footage. The kinder teacher was extremely mean and Im still furious about the situation. They cater to white families and the school has low percentage of diversity.

The school is diverse and the administration encourages collaboration between families and staff. My children were in the dual language program from Kindergarten to 8th grade and graduated being bilingual. Parents need to also do the work and encourage their children to speak Spanish outside of school. There is a thriving Nest program for children on the autism spectrum. The Principal makes decisions based on student needs. Your child will be safe, love school and flourish at PS84!

If any new parents are looking for daycare for their baby, here is a quick note about my experience as a new mom with Williamsburg Montessori: I couldn't be happier. Our baby started when he was a little over five months in the Nido program, and he's now 13 months and about to graduate into the next class. The experience has been wonderful. By way of example of how personalized the program is at Nido: when our baby was about to start, his primary teacher took the time to come to our house for a visit with us and the baby, to get to know him, learn about his routines, start getting him comfortable with her... we then were invited for a visit to the school after hours, so baby could get use to the environment while feeling safe with mom and dad around. And that's just an example; as baby has grown and thrived in the program, we get daily updates about his activities (meals, naps, etc.), we get periodic check ins with his teachers re his progress, strengths and areas for improvement, etc. I was very nervous about leaving such a small baby when we first started, but now I'm convinced that this has been for the best.
