This place give my son nightmares that he came back home crying
Posted by a parent on 5/16/2024My experience was excellent. All the teachers were very caring for their students.
Posted by a teacher on 10/18/2019Robert Van Wyck middle is a caring school with a very helpful staff. Students can feel safe and know they are leaving with a well rounded education.
Posted by a community member on 3/22/2017EVERYONE who works at this school really cares about the students. There are many great after school programs available for students to participate in - there is something available to satisfy and further develop the interests of every child. If you walk down the halls after school hours you will co

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageBy far one of the worst public schools in queens, NYC. The kids grade their own homework or the teachers have their classmates grade each other’s homework. Teachers give easy tests, very weak education, poor preparation for state white exams, teachers give answers sometimes during tests, and kids experience racism. On top of all that, diversity in this school is terrible.Parent Review2w ago - Ps 182 Samantha Smith

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe teachers are very interactive with the students and have no trouble reevaluating questions inquired by students who don't understand the lesson on the prior explanation. This school also offers many opportunities to build your leadership skills. The school offer a variety of competition including but not limited to Art, Debate, Science, and Poetry. Moreover, this school provides an Islamic environment, where students feel safe, learn more about their religion, and find their true self. In my experience, the teacher’s welcome newcomers warmly, and they attempt to strike a conversation with any new students without the person attempting to fit in or feeling insecure. There have been no cases of bullying, as, due to how the school is not crowded, the students get along and are very close with each other. Overall, it is an amazing environment and an institution where the students can be comfortable and interact with teachers to rise to the top. We always had peace of mind knowing kids are doing academic achievement along with learning ethical values.Parent Review7y ago - St Nicholas Of Tolentine School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI’ve been at this school since kindergarten. Now I’m a 8th grader and this is my final year at this amazing school. I’ve learned a lot and how the community grows in faith. However this school is unfortunately closing forever, it is very heartbreaking knowing that this school is a team and family. Take one thing away from this is that if this school reopens again I would recommend this school. I will be going to Townsend Harris High School.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AveragePoor leadership, no real communication with families, high staff turnover at all of their schools. The elementary school is located in a very unsafe location (in close proximity to a mens shelter) I do not recommend anyone bring their student to Growing up green, do your research and go elsewhere.Parent Review2y ago
