Ps 173 Fresh Meadow

I would recommend the school because the teachers there are nice day respect your culture. And all of the teachers I had were really nice. I had two teachers because I was into a language. Both of them taught me a lot of stuff and I think the school is good, because my scores on the task or really high and not like a 2 or an 1. So if you’re looking for school to help your kid elevate their grades, then I will recommend the school. Thank you all of the teachers and everyone that worked there for helping me for five years.

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

I would not recommend this school under any circumstances. This would be the absolute last school on the list of options in terms of school culture, teacher quality and discipline. It’s very disorganized and there’s no sense of strong leadership.

When I first brought my children to this school I immediately fell in love with the school. Unfortunately these last two years after new leadership took over the school has changed dramatically. The principal is not an effective leader because she teaches too many classes. The school is under staff, so therefore teachers are teaching too many classes and cannot effectively focus on classes. Teachers need more training, school needs new text books. The text books the children have are extremely old. When you have a concern and you bring it to the principal she's unable to resolve your issue. The principal has no support from the school board, which is the main reason why the school is not doing well. Parents continue to take their children out the school and there are still no changes. So I had to make the same decision to remove my child from the school.
