Ps 52 John C Thompson

Bad school. Even they put you in the program you don’t need to recieve money… terrible people

This school is welcoming to a majority of students, but does not do their due diligence for students with disabilities. There is either investors, or majority of parents, or something that keeps this school particularly from keeping them coming to terms with the idea that special education is not something to be ashamed of and or making parents of special needs children feel the need to work extra hard to explain their child's circumstances. Teacher's, staff, and a majority of schools since 2013 have been updated on general knowledge of autism and that there are various forms and how broad it is. To have to make parents get advocates for their children due to lack of knowledge at a school is concerning. If we have to ban peanuts, why is it so unusual to have safe spaces for children who become I overstimulated. Many schools recognize this concept, PS 41 does not. Even planning events (for the entire school) special education is not taken into consideration. I hope this does change, and they do better in the future.

It's an elementary school, Prek3-through 5, serving about 165 students. The school community tends to be small enough that students might get more individual attention. There's some mental health/ social worker support, though the number of social workers per student. Strength: relatively small class sizes, potential for more personal attention. I highly recommend P.S.046.

My child went to the Smiles Around Us school. My child and I loved this school. The environment was friendly, cozy, and safe. All the staff and the teachers were nice and respectful, and they also provided the children with nice food and snacks. Also, I was able to attend my child's Holiday shows, like the Winter show, Mother's Day, and Father's Day, and everything was great. Moreover, my child really made good progress in education and made a new friend. I recommend this school because it is great!

Our home away from home . The teachers and staff go above and beyond.

St Christopher was the best school with the best staff and amazing families. There will never be another school like it.

As an alum of Staten Island Academy, I can confidently say it’s more than just a school, it’s a family that supports you every step of the way. The close-knit community, passionate teachers, and personalized attention helped me grow not only academically but as a person. It’s a place that truly invests in your full potential, preparing you for both college and life beyond.
