Lutheran School Of Flushing & Bayside

This school has left me with lasting trauma regarding my child’s safety. In 2019, my four year old son was able to leave by himself undetected during dismissal. I found him half a block away by himself looking for me. It was pure luck that I was walking toward him and didn’t come up from the other direction. He could have been abducted, hit by a car, you name it. The school has since changed their dismissal procedure. When I called the following day to talk to the principal, they swept my concerns under the rug. Abysmal handling of both safety and justified parent concerns.

Will have to agree with previous post. Fine school if your child is neurotypical. For those with special needs, this school tries but falls short - unfortunately. It feels incredibly lonely to be in this population.Classrooms are extremely packed, we did not benefit from the state’s mandated smaller classroom - also unfortunate. Would I recommend this school? Just depends on your child’s needs.

Principal Didio did nothing for my kid who got bullied and stated that he cannot ensure the safety of the children 24/7. Terrible principal, does not care about kids or parents. Please choose a different school if you can

My son is graduating fifth grade this year.We really liked the last principal, Miss Lee, She was very fair. The new principal Miss Ski has a bias against children that speak Mandarin. My son and two of his friends told me that he has heard the principal call these children “Mandarin” as if that is who they are rather than the language that they speak.

Our family has been part of the St. Kevin Catholic Academy alumni since 1990s. This was one of the main reasons we decided to extend the same path to our child. Our child has been in the SKCA community since kindergarten (covid) and now finishing fourth grade. Like any school, it has faced its challenges over the years, but one thing that stands out is how the principal, staff and administration care about the children and their privacy. Their focus has consistently been on providing stability, a strong education, and a nurturing environment. My child is happy to go to school and be in the clubs and sports that are offered. Has made friendships that feel more like extended families. There’s a real closeness among families here. We support each other, look out for one another’s children, and genuinely enjoy being part of this community.
