I really can not say anything negative about this school! It is amazing. My son experienced his first year, 3k. I witnessed so much growth in him. Socially and emotionally he was encouraged in a positive manner. His teachers really engaged with me and was open to coordinate so he can learn to readju
Posted by a parent on 6/25/2021My child started preschool last year and so far I’m very happy with my choice. The school is half traditional and half progressive which means there is a lot of hands on experience, even in the upper classes. The teachers look out for one another and I’ve witness students greeting them with hugs eve
Posted by a parent on 6/26/2019River East Elementary, a non-zone half traditional, half progressive school, turned out to be such a gem for our 6 years old son. He has been truly supported by his teachers and by our new Principal, Mr. Panetta. Both teachers and Mr. Panetta truly care about our kids, each other and parents. My son

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageCurrently PS 57 has an unprofessional attitude with disrespectful principal. Today is November 18th 2025 before this principal was a honest principal who does have respect and her responsibility but now very hard to spoke with a principal for any concerns. If she doesn’t leave from this school then definitely law quality service she will be provide to all students. Very sadParent Review7mo ago - PS 96 Joseph Lanzetta
