Ever since the new administration came in, the school has positively transformed. Teachers are wonderful, kids are excited about school, and the whole community is warm and inviting. One of the best schools in Washington Heights.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur daughter is about to complete the 3k program and our experience at PS 128 has exceeded our expectations. The administration is proactive, responsive and organized. Culturally, the school is diverse and welcoming. There is a lot of school spirit and camaraderie amongst parents and staff. The teachers are experienced and thorough.We have had experience with private school through or other child, and our parent teacher evaluations at PS 128 were just as thorough and detailed as our private school evaluations. Our daughter participated in social emotional learning and play based learning. She was also exposed to art, dance and music. She has grown to be a confident and an avid learner. We have also seen how supportive the teachers are with students with IEPs and development delays. Very happy with the school.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is a very good school and has a good college preparation for students who want to get into their dream college, but I think they should add more courses that make others feel very interested and increase the PE sports by adding badminton and tennis. Overall this school is good for kids who struggle learning and need a lot of help.Student Review6mo ago - Yeshiva Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch
