Lakeville Elementary School

Gave a call to the school and they just said they were busy. They give no care to the people living around their neighbourhood, was playing loud extremely music. I have work today and can't get any sleep.

Not a good school for kids who need IEP — no teachers ever advocated for my son who had issues with reading and writing…my son graduated to go to middle school only for his ELA IREADY to show 4th grade reading comprehension level and inability to write grade level essay discussions. Middle school teachers advocated for him and now he has an IEP for speech in the 7th grade, and may be going into ICT classes for other subjects. Why was PS 94 so eager to promote my son without appropriate services ? Horrible school for students needing IEP or services.

NYC public school with 250 students ! How better does it get. Of course you can pay $10k for a local catholic school or maybe $50k to send your child to Buckley Day School, similar class size, maybe you your child won’t get to ride a horse during school time but hey pay for those lessons separately, same level of education and save yourself $45k!

Constant complaints of bullying and teachers don’t have a lot of patience. Always some thing with this school.

Having 2 kids in the school, we strongly recommend this school. We are very happy with our children’s education.

Perfect school. Completely Torah-observant, welcoming to everyone. From kindergarten to Eighth Grade, I’ve felt like I was learning quickly, with every classmate as a friend. Today, I took my eighth grade math regents—possibly my last time being in Har Torah. I am completely prepared for what is to come. The teachers are amazing, and enjoy their job. They give themselves to their students, and know exactly what each child needs. Har Torah education is based on giving each child the highest education he can get as an individual, different for each person, but still working as a family. I’ve developed love for Torah, love for learning in general, interest in everything, high ambition, tremendous respect for superiors, perfect social skills (initially difficult for me), and intimate love for the staff and students. As Jews, we are all family, and in Har Torah, we all know it.One thing to note: This year—and only this year—roughly half of the eighth and seventh graders have not been educated on why they should keep the Torah. They still did, but not at the highest level. If your child is easily influenced, wait for two years to send them here. Otherwise, send them the day school starts, with no hesitation. I want to stress that Har Torah is the highest elementary and middle Yeshiva on and around Long Island, and those running it have been doing so for decades. My uncles attended school here, and they say they loved it at least as much as I. This is the best option for your child to get an education, including Torah, english subjects, and personal development. This is the best of the best.Oh, I almost forgot—Danny the security guard. Danny is the favorite of every student. His presence counts for a large amount of my enjoyment and feeling of friendship at this school. When you come over to our school, look for the average-height Indian security guard, and say hello. You will not regret anything.
