Jhs 190 Russell Sage

I accepted my offer for PS144 after reading all good reviews. Unfortunately, our experience wasn’t the best. I was tired from poor communication from admin staff, principal with I don’t care attitude. The teacher who decided that little kids don’t need any form of rewards, ignoring emails, lying all responsibility on parents when it comes to explaining the concepts etc.We moved our kid to another school and can’t be happier.

I have had 2 children here, starting in 2018 and one is still there. This is a fantastic gem that is underrated in the community. Don’t sleep on this school! They have a variety of clusters, daily recess that is prioritized, and weekly enrichment based on student interest. My kids have learned so many cool things in enrichment! Mock trial, crocheting, physics, newspaper - the offerings are incredible. Admin is very responsive and make decisions that prioritize kids. We’ve never had a teacher we didn’t like. I love 175 and couldn’t be happier that my kids started their schooling here.

I couldn't agree more with the previous parent aboit the principal that governs her school with an iron fist. I can't complain about the teachers there, they are great, but the principal has no social skills and can be very demeaning. My child graduated from there and walked away with a lot of positive memories there. I cant magine the stress and anxiety the teachers must have in there. Lighten up a little lady!!

The first review I read about the faculty being disengaged and unable to hear any criticism is so true. There is an older woman behind the scenes who is really the boss, who when questioned during covid about class sizes abused the parents for asking! There are so many better options in the area both private and public. My child was bullied and hit , and I was made the bad guy for complaining. Bullying rampant . Local will confirm. The school has a bad reputation for good reason.Mandatory strong armed fund raisers, money requests almost everyday, abusive nasty teachers whose own grand children go to other schools. No passion for anything but your money and their reputation.Locally people know its horribleI would never post this if I didn't think people should know

I am a RACA alumni now at Chaminade and I can confidently say it has prepared me for high school and it was some of the best nine years of my life making friends that I’m still close with today a great school for anyone K-8.

It has been my pleasure to send my preschooler here. In just 5 months she is more confident with math, reading and social engagement. Ms Motiani, the preschool age 3-5 teacher, is the epitome of professionalism and kindness. My daughter has become as articulate and compassionate as she is. It’s once in a lifetime that you find talented educators who enrich children starting from the early years. This school is a great example of dedicated education for early learners.
