I get it, it appears in the surface Kingsbury is not equipped to handle kids with special needs, but they are effectively trying. I can also say certain Kingsbury staff radiate genuine warmth and understanding in supporting the children, especially those with special needs. It’s interesting to see h
Posted by a parent on 4/6/2026P.S 188 on the surface looks strong. Underneath, from a collection of reviews from other parents it is an emotionally damaging institution to place your child. They close the schoolyard first of all leaving students with not space to socialize after school. They are lucky if they get any time to go
Posted by a parent on 3/5/2026My son is in the G&T program. He loves to study and learn. He has good behavior and loves to read. The teachers are great here and the after school is safe until we pick him up. Be aware that G&T program gives more homework and is a little harder than regular classes. But my son loves it so I
Posted by a parent on 4/7/2025This school is not equipped for special needs children. There is not enough support as they only have a part-time guidance counselor, family worker and psychologist. The principal heavily micromanages her staff, so teachers basically have no say. She is cc’d on every single email that is sent out. D

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI went here for my whole life and my family too, this school is absolutely horrible they always have physical fights and have a lot of arguments with the students and a lot of students have gotten hurt. Mostly all students use racial slurs when speaking. There is also lots of bugs, for example, cockroaches, spiders, centipedes, and etc. They also don’t clean the restrooms very well and not all female students have access to the proper products they need. A lot of students go through a hard time here like getting cyber bullied or getting into fights that then get posted online. Teachers don’t listen when students get hurt. Overall this school is horrible would not recommend to anyone looking to sent there child here.Parent Review10mo ago - Ps 18 Winchester

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageGreat teachers for the most part. Mrs. Careddu is wonderful and effective as principal.The one downside is the PTA which could be more inclusive. 60+ percent of the student body is Asian but there are never any fundraising activities at Asian places and the PTA board members are very rude to Asian parents even when you're trying to volunteer. They speak to you as though you're a child. Extremely unprofessional and disrespectful. Hope this changes in the new school year.Parent Review3y ago - Ps 46 Alley Pond

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am an old student of Incarnation Catholic Acadamy. I went to this school since nursery till 5th grade. I am currently in 7th and I would just like to say that you would be better off sending your kid to public school. This school you have to pay for is NOT worth what your paying for. I never really liked this school because the teachers were always rude to me even though I was a good student. I always felt confused because I felt that I never really understood these lessons I now know why. This school does NOT teach you correctly. I remember I always used to cry because I was getting poor graes in math because I didn't understand . The teachers don't teach you properly. When I started my first day of public school I realized that I did know how to do the math but the teachers werent teaching right. I would advise you to send your kid to public school before you ruin there child hood and I am not being crazy im serious Public schools give you more than this school will. This school even cut off field trips and recess.Other Review3y ago
