My child recently graduated from this school, and I have been deeply disappointed with the experience. This school does not value academic performance. Over the years, I’ve watched many excellent students leave—either transferring to Gifted and Talented programs or other schools.Until 5th grade, my
Posted by a parent on 10/9/2025My son has thrived at PS 101, great administration and caring teachers.
Posted by a parent on 7/18/2023Great experience at ps101q. My child’s teachers (1st grade) are rockstars and responsive to any questions or requests I have. Academically he’s thriving, and they keep him engaged. He loves learning, and they encourage him. Pa is hard working and exceptional, lots of fun events throughout the year.
Posted by a parent on 4/7/2023Both of my girls attended this school back when it had a 6th grade. The school was a wonderful experience and provided both of them with everything they needed. My older daughter went on the The Baccalaureate School and my younger went to Louie Armstrong. One was accepted to Brooklyn Latin, interest
Posted by a parent on 7/31/2022Awful, unhelpful, staff is rude especially the assistant principal, she could never help with anything and I have a long history with problems my kids had that she or the main principal could never solve or give any justice

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI 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.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe 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 knowParent Review2y ago - The Kew-Forest School

From the top notch academics to the best teachers to the diverse and welcoming community - the school cannot be matched.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIt 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.Parent Review3mo ago
