Read what parents are saying about Harvest Collegiate High SchoolI feel that being at Harvest Collegiate Highschool has allowed me to become a better person. I can speak openly more, while when I was younger I was very shy and timid. Everyone is like a family. It's very welcoming.
Posted by a student on 9/25/2019I was at Harvest during my freshman and sophomore year and I'd say that it is a great school to attend to get a feel for what high school is. The location and space may not be the best but its incredibly easy to get used to especially with all the excellent teachers and staff. Highly recommend!
Posted by a student on 4/29/2018My child currently attends this school the staff goes over and beyond the duty to ensure a safe environment and learning .The students here are well mannered and follow the rules of the school and for those who don't are dealt with in a mannerly professionally approach This is one great school any parent would be proud as I am to send their child to this school Feb 42018
Posted by a parent on 2/4/2018I am a former student at this school. I have been a victim of bullying at this school. This school has had metal detectors. We even had some fights that resulted in arrests. We have school security guards walk the halls. We have a large amount of students who roam the halls when they should be in class. The school is two small compared the the amount of students who attend the school. I would not recommend anyone to attend this school.

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI chose this school for my child because of its reputation. Because of Covid, we had to rely mainly on online reviews for schools we were considering and I must say that some reviews of PS41 gave me pause but I chalked them up to disgruntled parents. It turns out that our experience was much like some of the negative reviews here, save the parent coordinator, who has been replaced by Thom Lee, an absolute gem who goes above and beyond. This school is very regimented and does not feel warm. The kindergarten curriculum is what the DOE first grade curriculum used to be, focusing mainly on academics, with some specialty classes like art and dance squeezed in between periods in a disjointed way. Mid-Fall, at an informal gathering with my child's teacher, when asked how the school year was going, she mentioned that the boys were "still very physical" as if their energy would suddenly dissipate because the school year was now underway. (They are going to want to run and play for years to come!) There was a lot of "sit down," "sit still, "1, 2, 3 eyes on me," extrinsic rewards like a "prize box" and stickers, and teacher-as-God energy. My child would have a good day when there was a sticker and feel down when the next day the target behavior didn't earn a sticker. Our kindergarten teacher called another child's mom to report that her daughter was "taking too long in the bathroom," and "picking the nail polish off her nails," (the day after Halloween) and recommended an evaluation from a neuropsych: Feedback about my child, and feedback about other children in the class which parents openly shared, was painfully negative and centered around whether they were "paying attention," and "listening," and was obsessively about reading and reading only - in kindergarten. There is not play-based, art-based learning nor is the whole child and his/her wonderful personal characteristics taken into account. This felt like an institution that whips children into shape prematurely and out of step with their developmental timeline. They might leave here with a strong rote memorization of facts and appetite for extrinsic rewards, but perhaps at the risk of their sense of self, confidence, executive function and ability to think for themselves. If your child thrives in structure, likes to memorize and might like teacher-led learning, this could be good for you. I would not recommend PS 41. Many independent schools offer wonderful financial aid - see what you can do!Parent Review1y ago - Grace Church School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have been a Grace parent for 3 years and I have had a wonderful experience at the school. I am most impressed by the faculty and staff - it is apparent how dedicated they are to their students and helping them learn, but it is also apparent that they love what they do. They are consistently warm, supportive, and responsive. Another strength of the school is its close-knit community feel. The parents and families of the students are eager to be involved, and the school provides a multitude of opportunities for them to volunteer, gather, and participate in their child's school experience. We have been so happy at Grace these past few years and recommend it highly!Parent Review6mo ago - City Country School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageGreat school. Excellent teachers and administration. Amazing community and I love that they focus on their social- emotional learning. They go above and beyond to support students' mental health and emotional well-being. AOSJ graduates get into the top high schools in Manhattan most of them have a full scholarship. This to show how much attention they get from the teachers and how hard they work with our kids.Parent Review1mo ago - New York Hebrew

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe PTA members at this school consistently come across as unpleasant. This treatment is particularly directed towards Asian women who are not proficient in the language. There are also Asian women among the members, but they share the same attitude. There seems to be a tendency to dislike people who are flashy yet struggle with language. Even when I made a donation, there wasn't a single word of gratitude.Parent Review2mo ago
