Ps 163 Flushing Heights

165 is a school that is motivated to give the best of everything to our students. I've been in the building close to ten years now and based on my experiences with colleagues the staff is full of great teachers who really care about the emotional and educational well-being of each student. We're led by admin who really care. I can't tell you the number of times that admin and staff have cried and cared about the safety and emotional well-being of a child that no one outside the building would have seen unless they were there. 165 is a family and we're always looking to get better.

This is truly an amazing school community with caring staff, supportive community based organizations and PTA, and engaging enrichment activities such as dance, soccer, basketball, etc.

Both my boys attend this school and so far I have no complaints. The teachers are very engaging, communication is excellent.my boys love their school friends and teachers

a lot of annoying 5th graders at lunch, the community was interesting, some of the teachers are fine. otherwise, meh.

This school does use what I consider advanced learning curriculums, however, this schools environment is not that great. A lot of the students here will not make your child feel safe or comfortable/confident and some of teachers are similar. The extracurricular activities/talents are not very organized. The food here is predominantly gross frozen food. I don’t think children (youngest age 5) should be consuming this, neither should the middle schooler considering some kids only option is this nasty food. From what I hear around me, most kids do not like going here and always wish to go to another school instead. From my perspective/opinion, a lot of the staff and teachers don’t communicate well or are unorganized. I’m not trying to bash this school because I go here, so I’m trying to be completely honest, but if had to go back in time, I would NOT go to this school. The smart kids and advanced curriculums don’t make up for the environment…. I don’t recommend

It was once a great school . The principal pulls teachers out of their classroom to do other duties instead of preparing students for state tests. In addition there’s so many behavioural issues that a dean was needed in addition to the two AP’s. There’s absolutely no accountability for actions.
