Bullying at the school is ignored. The school sends out letters asking for incidents to be reported. Multiple people reported on an incident of a young girl being called sexually inappropriate words over the course of months. Nothing was done. They readily give detention for minor infractions, but r
Posted by a parent on 7/28/2026Since 2020 the school has been a nightmare. They continue to overpromise and under deliver. There were disruptive children in my child's class and despite numerous meetings and conversations about all the issues, nothing was done. The other review is 10000% correct that the principal WILL NOT confro
Posted by a parent on 11/6/202410/10. I attended Bishop Dunn Memorial School from Pre-K to 8th grade and I am a current grad student at Mount Saint Mary College, which is this college that BDMS is on the campus of. I was so happy with the experience that I had at Bishop Dunn. The current Principal, Mrs. Benfer, is so amazing. She
Posted by a community member on 8/14/2020Fantastic. Have had four children go through BDMS with many principals. The school is currently diverse and a wonderful learning community with a variety of extra curricular activities, strong sports teams, and families that are involved and also helping the school.
Posted by a parent on 8/13/2020We came from a public school and wanted a place where our children felt safe and were allowed to be children. We found this at BDMS.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe overall moral of this school is awful. Every year so many kids leave because their kids are depressed, discouraged and hate school. Despite an ongoing “positivity project” the students and teachers continue to bully, gaslight and generally just don’t seem to care. The gym teacher can’t even get the kids to enjoy a game of tag they are all just walking around the gym ignoring him while he’s on his phone. There is no meaningful art or music curriculum, they have a wonderful library and yet the kids read books off a white board. It’s sad that is is the elementary school experience for these kids they deserve better.Parent Review5mo ago - South Avenue School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWonderful experience here. My daughter has thrived in this school, the teachers from other grades even seem to know her, they go out of their way to challenge her and foster a love of learning, and have kept me updated regularly on both social and academic issues.Parent Review3y ago - Balmville School

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageDr. Buon is probably the best administrator in this district. Balmville School is a great school. The school was given special ed classes to save money and the issues come from not having staff to service the kids the district moved in there. Our child went K-5 there. If you know what education is and care about the learning part, this is the school for you. It is not the school for special ed, but this is a special ed problem across the district.Parent Review4y ago - Gidney Avenue Memorial School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageHORRIBLE SCHOOL. If you have a choice in placement do not send them here. They don’t communicate well. The principal and vice principal are incompetent and have done nothing to secure the safety of my child. HORRIBLE. I would give zero stars if I could.Parent Review7mo ago - Horizon On The Hudson Magnet School
