Ps 70

My daughter attended this school for Kindergarten and I cannot wait until the school year is over to transfer her out of this school. The teachers lack proper communication and barely send out homework. Overall I do not recommend this school.

Our child has been a part of PS84 since Kindergarten and will be graduating this year. The smaller classroom sizes have given teachers the opportunity to truly focus on each student, which has made a big difference in their success. We’ve loved the strong sense of family and community that PS84 fosters, along with the lasting friendships that have been built over the years. The school’s commitment to social-emotional learning has also been outstanding, helping our child grow not only academically but personally as well.

Incompetent staff that doesn’t do work or excite kids and prepare them for middle school. Some teachers would rather watch YouTube videos on dancing than teach content like math. All the pedagogical Differentiation is exclusively for student who are years behind grade level. This is the GnT program too. School doesnt teach social studies lol. Put ur kid anywhere else.

The teachers at this school are truly outstanding! They are not only knowledgeable but also passionate about teaching and deeply care about their students’ success. They go the extra mile to ensure every student understands the concepts and feels encouraged. The administration is approachable and always ready to listen to parents’ concerns. Happy for the teachers.

I’m an alumni and my son recently graduated. I was passionate about having him attend St. Joseph’s because of the positive impact it had on my life. All these years later, I can look back and truly appreciate what I learned there, the important values of discipline, personal responsibility, faith and care for others. All have positively improved my life at work and in community. I also walked away with a group of friends that I’ve maintained all these years later. The community St. Joseph’s creates for its students and parents is one of inclusion, acceptance and support. My son similarly experienced a positive learning environment with dedicated teachers, a variety of classes that included yoga & meditation, music, dance, making lifelong friends and excelled in his academics, resulting in a full scholarship to high school. It would not have been possible if it weren’t for the safe environment the school provides, allowing him to flourish in many areas. They also have a Faith in Action initiative where children take part in projects like writing letters to Veterans thanking them for their service, to children in hospitals providing encouragement and get well wishes, to elderly to brighten their days. The children learn that they can each make a difference in their communities by these simple acts of kindness and care. A Catholic school education is vital to the well-being of children and encourages the development of well-rounded individuals who care about the community around them. The discipline and respect a Catholic school education teaches is something all members of our society will benefit from, regardless of religious belief or culture. I highly recommend this school - it is a positive place to help any child grow into their full potential!
