West Prep is a very special school on the UWS. The entire faculty and team of educators pour so much into these students. My son is in 6th grade and has been welcomed and supported every single day.

Posted by a parent on 1/11/2024The school is fully staffed with dedicated professionals who are enthusiastic about the future of our youth.

Posted by a parent on 11/1/2015This will be my son's second year at this school. I can honestly say that I was happy with his progress as a sixth grader at West Prep. The administration is very supportive and so are the teachers. I always get responses to my emails and I was happy with the outcome of any concerns I had. My son's
Posted by a parent on 8/22/2013I was appalled when I saw Great School's rating of "2" for this school. I am the parent of an 8th grader, and I only have positive things to say about it.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am so grateful we were able to join the 163 community. My son is now in 1st grade. Though neither of his parents speak Spanish, he's come so far thanks to dual language. He's now a reader and though started behind, his teacher noticed, got him a tutor, and worked regularly with us to get him on grade level, all at no cost to us. I feel a true partnership with the teachers and administration. And, the PTA puts on dozens of events throughout the year bringing the community together. From Friday movie nights to our big ticket items in the spring, I am just so happy we are a part of this vibrant community.Parent Review2mo ago - Ps 165 Robert E Simon

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy children, now 7 and 5, have been at St. Hilda's since they were toddlers and we can't say enough of the incredible and loving community there. The school is able to beautifully balance rigorous academics with building moral character. The school is able to create a balance of specials and academic core and I believe truly sees my children individually with love and support. For a private school in NYC, the parent community is very relaxed and down to earth. There is a rigorousness to the school without creating deep stress or competitiveness. I can't say enough about this incredible school and community.Parent Review10mo ago - Bank Street School for Children

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI’m grateful every day to be a part of this community. My kids are learning about themselves and others, figuring out who they are as learners and who they are in relation to the world around them. They learn through experience and plan and from educators who put the kids at the center of everything they do. And the community of parents is grounded and connected and just gets it. It’s a very special place.Parent Review1y ago - Ascension School
