Hector Figueroa School (The)

After reading the previous post about the STEM teacher, I felt compelled to post. My child has been attending PS11 since kindergarten and I have always been very pleased with my child's teachers and the school. However, this year my child has a third grade teacher who demeans children on a daily basis. She screams constantly. I have spoken to the teacher (numerous times) and administration and the problem continues. Administration did nothing. My child cries most mornings and complains of a stomachache. After speaking to others, the teacher has been like this for years. I am at my breaking point and hopefully by taking the matter higher it will be resolved. I don’t know what else to do.

I attended this school from grade 1-5 before covid 19. I had many teachers such as Tufano, Torez, Aranda, Sarkar, Reynold and Tekaaho. All these teachers were amazing and did a great job had so much fun here. Often a lot of the teachers would shows us more advanced methods to do something which was a game changer for future classes. But yea i highly recommend this elementary school and think yall should send your own kids here.

Incompetent staff that doesn’t do work or excite kids and prepare them for middle school. Some teachers would rather watch YouTube videos on dancing than teach content like math. All the pedagogical Differentiation is exclusively for student who are years behind grade level. This is the GnT program too. School doesnt teach social studies lol. Put ur kid anywhere else.

Sadden by this school they seem to have a preference on who they would like to accept.. seem to not have got programs for kids who struggle with Vision loss along with being deaf.
