Yeshivat Shaare Torah Girls Elementary School

I do not like this school OF HOW BAD IT IS AND THEY DO NOT TREAT KIDS NORMALLY

School does not accommodate students with disabilities. Parents are routinely blamed for any emotional issues students with disabilities may experience. School is oblivious about a trauma-informed approach to education. Admin is a nightmare. Principal is an egomaniac with a personal agenda that conflicts with student progress and success. District really needs to clean house here. Enrollment continues to decline year after year.

I cannot express how much I love this school and how grateful I am that my son attends PS 130. He's had some of the most wonderful teachers and the chess program is incredible and has propelled him into another universe for the better. He wouldn't have been exposed to chess through any other means and through that he's learned how to navigate loss, built confidence, and sharpened his strategic capabilities. The PS 130 community is amazing, diverse, and welcoming. My only critique is I sometimes feel there could be more homework or a tiny bit more focus on academics -- but I wouldn't send him anywhere else. He's getting a well-rounded education and is surrounded by tons of caring staff and feels supported. Test scores don't give the full picture. Thank you, PS 130!

My daughter 2nd year at this school and we are happy to say that she enjoys going to school and especially attending the afterschool program “Right at School” she is a 1st grader and I would like to thank you to the educators that care for her, thank you for doing an awesome job!

Our family joined International Christian school in 2021 and it has been a huge success with our kids academics and social emotional development. Everyone on staff is very attentive and professional. Classes are small which is a great environment for learning. Curriculum is rich and very engaging. Recently the school location was moved to Carroll Gardens and its such an amazing, well lit and spacious facility. There are several very good playgrounds in the area for afterschool unwind. One of our children is uncompromised so having spacious facility and small class size is very beneficial.

I am a former student of IHM, attending through 7th grade. After leaving there due to a relocation, I realized how far ahead I was from my peers the following year. They faculty was wonderful, and I would definitely recommend this school to anyone looking for a solid foundation.
