Unfortunately, this School does a very poor job of educating children with disabilities. NYC mandates that they accept a certain percentage of students with IEP's, so they do, but it's clear that anyone with more severe disabilities is not welcome. This is a top down problem, with an imperious princ
Posted by a parent on 7/2/2026We were proud when our child was accepted into PPAS and were hopeful for their artistic development going in. Early on, we were impressed by the performances and the conservatory training. Then things started to go downhill.The culture of this school is one of unchecked drama. Students create social
Posted by a parent on 6/2/2021This school does a very poor job of preparing your little snowflakes for life after Performing Arts High School.
Posted by a parent on 6/4/2018Nice and refershing to some truth returning to the reviews of this school. My daughter graduated from this place and thanks to a separate cirriculum of learning online and a lot of the right connections, we were able to salvage the university process. The school in no way prepared her and, if anythi
Posted by a parent on 1/28/2018This school is horrendous and neither teaches academics nor arts at any elevated standard. It is sub par across the board. It is a school for kids who couldn’t get into better schools or a handful of kids who simply made the wrong/worst possible choice. RUN in the other direction if you wish for any

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter has been attending this school for 2 years now. It is a great school with great music and art programs. My daughter had to have a safety transfer from a previous school so it has been a huge blessing not getting called weekly that something has happened to my child. The afterschool program is AMAZING as well! They have so many cool clubs to keep the kids entertained and involved like fashion and girl code. This is my daughter's last year of Elementary school so it will be bitter sweet for her to transition over to middle school. If you are looking for a great school for your child look no further.Parent Review6y ago - Ps 111 Adolph S Ochs

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe’ve had a wonderful experience at PS 111 in Hell’s Kitchen. The transition to the school was seamless when my daughter joined in 3rd grade after being accepted into the Gifted & Talented (G&T) program. After learning more about the school and the many opportunities it offers, we decided to move our son to PS 111 as well.The school provides several affordable and free after-school programs, which has been a huge benefit for our family. Through partnerships with organizations like YOSL, my children have had the opportunity to learn violin and cello. There are also creative partnerships with a local theater, giving students exposure to the arts.PS 111 also does a great job building community. Families are invited to events like movie nights and monthly “Family Fridays,” where we learn more about what students are working on in class. There are also many opportunities for parents to volunteer. The PTA is very active, and the principal clearly cares about the students and is always accessible. It’s truly a supportive and engaging school community.Parent Review4mo ago - Ps 212 Midtown West

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy child has been attending for 6 years. I have seen the good and not so good. All in all the experience has been wonderful. Sacred Heart is a small and nurturing environment. The teachers thus far have been caring and responsive. Individualized attention is given to the students. Again, the new principal is great. Parents need to be more supportive and involved.Parent Review8y ago - Holy Cross School
