The Gordon Parks School

In my opinion and my experience, this is a great school for your child. All staff are friendly and caring for your children and Principal Baptiste is the most friendly and coolest person. He knows every child and parents as well. I cannot wait for my second child to start at this school.

The staff's goes above and beyond to help the children.

My daughter has been coming since kindergarten and now graduating this year woohoo. Ps 176 has been great to us. The teachers Ms. Chu just amazing and caring, helped my baby love math and be comfortable with learning it. Ms. Spearman is so cool and down to earth and will literally recommend to you what can help your child do better in class. Ms. Alexander is great, Ms. Chouhan and Ms. Salmon are such a great duo together. I really enjoyed every teacher and staff is good as well. The school I would say after Covid they just don’t really allow parents in the school which is weird. I don’t remember the last time I saw my daughter’s classroom, so definitely need more interacting and being back more sports with Mr. Rivera he is the BEST!!!!! Track was awesome. Thank God for a great experience. I would say keep an open mind, stay kind , know who your child is!! ask questions and make sure parents that you are involved and staff see your face, know your voice as in you speak, you greet and you show up.

As parent of a 3rd grader my experience with Shaw Avenue has been a positive one. My child started in Kindergarten and is still enrolled at Shaw with encouraging growth in academics, teacher experience, allocation of resources. Shaw boasts a strong PTA presence, open engagement from the school district and Shaw Ave administration.
