Ps 14 Fairview

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.

it do4s nkit show you all the subjects and there are lots of fghtsts there. and pricniple does not care about no one.,

I was there for a year at this school. The principal there provided little to no support. If she was angry and that's most of the times, she takes it out on you. And the students? Most of them were okay. But there were two that got away with MANY of the behaviors because the principal didn't do anything to address it.The staff? They were mostly okay. But unhappy principal means unhappy staff.Ever since I left, I blossomed into a better teacher. And this school? Taught me that some principal should not be leading a school.

Both of my children attended PS13 from kindergarten. For the first few years, we were pleased with the instruction and the teachers’ attentiveness. However, after 3rd grade, we noticed a steep decline in the quality of teaching and teacher engagement.Teachers seemed increasingly unmotivated and disconnected from their students. Communication was poor—you’d be lucky to receive a timely response to emails or messages. When concerns were raised, many teachers became defensive instead of working with parents to support student success.The school appears to place far more emphasis on the arts than on core academics. At the time my children were enrolled, there were no science or STEM classes until 5th grade. In today’s digital age, this delay puts students at a clear disadvantage compared to their peers elsewhere.To be fair, the principal was actively involved and did make efforts to work with parents. Unfortunately, the overall teaching environment and culture in the upper grades overshadowed that leadership. By the time my oldest reached 4th grade, we knew we had to move both of our children to another school.At their new school, they are thriving—even with a more rigorous curriculum and full schedule. We were not surprised to find more than a dozen other former PS13 students there as well; many parents clearly shared our concerns and chose to transfer out before graduation.While PS13 had promise in the early grades, the lack of consistent quality instruction, STEM opportunities, and supportive teacher-parent relationships after 3rd grade ultimately drove us to make a change for the better.

My grandson used to come here and he got bullied and even elbow punched in the mouth this is a horrible school.

I went to school there back in the early 70's for first and second grade and even at my age now, I still carry what I have learned there into adulthood.
