I love this school. I am involved in this school more than 8 years since all my 3 kids were and they are still part of this school. I cannot praise enough the principal who is doing so much for the school, teachers and the whole staff in general. They really care about our kids and in so many years
Posted by a parent on 5/31/2026My child was in PS 88 school for 4 months. The first week my child came home with a cut on his face he said another boy knocked his glasses off at lunch and pushed up up against the wall. When I asked his teacher I was told Im not there at lunch so I dont know what happened. My

Her teachers are communicative, kind and always eager to support me as a parent in finding ways to bridge the connection between school and home. The school's principal, Mrs. O'Shaughnessy, is incredibly responsive and ambitious

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageBest elementary school in Ridgewood. Had my son at 239Q and it was a total nightmare. He has an IEP for a self-contained setting and has made incredible progress. Principal Diamond is the best and has chosen excellent, knowledgeable and supportive staff in her school.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMr. Filippi is the best person to be principal. He is a person who is dedicated, trustworthy and an amazing person. Going back to when he taught, his dedication was always amazing. I pray for his continued success and must say folks at 91 are lucky to have a person like him heading the school. Thank you Mr. Filippi for your dedication, devotion, and charisma. You are god sent!Other Review1y ago - Ps 153 Maspeth

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is a terrible school and they have terrible leadership. Your child will not be looked after with any sort of care. They will smile in your face and mistreat your child the moment you walk away from the school doors. Ask around plenty of parents put their child in only to regret it and pull them out. I will no be returning once this year is done. Keep looking!!Parent Review8mo ago - St. Brigid School
