Communication is excellent. Many opportunities to get involved. Great parents.

My family had an absolute horrible experience at this school! From the awful administrators, both principal and vice principal, to the incompetent horrible guidance counselor, to mediocre teachers, this school experience for the last several years continued to disappoint. This school failed my child on many levels including quality of services received, to recommendations of classroom placement, to sharing that my child was very behind in the last year of school before leaving and transitioning to middle school. Would have been nice if that was communicated to us years earlier so we could have gotten the supports needed and set him up for success in middle school. Poor communication with parents and overall, just terrible school. I am beyond thrilled that my child will no longer be a student here. Years ago, this school was considered to be an elite public school that was equivalent to a high-end private school. It completely went downhill, and the leadership is really at the core of it. I have many friends who attend the school that feel the same way I do. Do not send your child to this school! There are so many better options in the neighborhood.

New York's public school system isn't that bad when compared to this school!

I am a parent of an upper schooler at Town. We’ve been at Town since kindergarten. Town is such a wonderful school! My child is thriving academically and the mix of challenging work, top-rate faculty, and a warm and friendly community make this one of the best schools in the city!

Caedmon is a place where children can truly flourish. The teachers, staff, and head of school are warm, caring, and professional. The environment is fun and familial. The greater community is wonderful. Our children have all had different, but equally wonderful experiences here. I especially appreciate that the school supports emotional and social development in conjunction with academics: children learn about friendships and empathy and mental health alongside math, reading, and science.

We've been very happy at YCS. The teachers are caring and engaging, with years of experience at the school, and the principal is incredibly dedicated. My kid loves going to school every day.
