Is 61 William A Morris

Having had all three of my children attend P.S. 65, I can share a firsthand perspective on the school, its faculty, and the overall experience over a span of more than ten years. To put it simply, our experience has been overwhelmingly positive.There is a unique quality that comes with a smaller school environment, and much of the credit for this, and for the incredible foundation built over the years, goes to the visionary leadership of Ms. Scramadella (Sophie), the previous principal who founded this school, and Ms. Rodrigues, the founding school counselor. They established a truly "old school" approach, where a stable and highly qualified faculty and support staff genuinely know everything about your child, from their Pre-K days all the way through 5th grade. Ms. Marks and the current leadership took this foundation to the next level and I have seen an amazing growth over the past couple of years in my children academic and social development as well.This personal connection translates into an environment where my kids genuinely loved going to school. We've seen remarkable academic achievements, with some of our children ranking in the top 1% statewide in both Math and ELA on state tests. Beyond academics, every single teacher we encountered demonstrated a profound care for our children's development. Activities, arts, and a rich array of extracurricular programs are seamlessly integrated into daily school life, not just treated as afterthoughts.The school's commitment to communication and community is also exceptional. I've experienced the parent coordinator reaching out just to check in or to offer a warm "Happy New Year." The front office team is so familiar with parents that they often recognize my voice over the phone, eliminating the need to even state my name.We consider ourselves truly fortunate to have discovered and been a part of this amazing hidden gem. We extend our best wishes to Ms. Marks and the entire faculty of P.S. 65 for continued success and many wonderful years ahead!

This school is terrible,the principal could care less about the students. I have heard from their students that students were fighting apparently every day and teachers have seen but but haven’t said anything until one teacher saw and got them suspended. DONT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE !
