Lisa Esposito is an absolute trashcan for a human being. This woman cares about one thing. Clinging onto her “power” at an elementary school in Staten Island of all places. This trashcan represents all that is wrong in this world when it comes to educating children. They don’t even have AC in the gy
Posted by a parent on 6/17/2026The school is not bad. But the big problem of teachers is that they do not like their profession. they can not interest the child and give motivation to learn. Another problem is that if a child goes to this school with a Kinder Carden, then this child will be given priority over the newcomer.
Posted by a parent on 7/11/2023This school only teaches towards the state exams. If you are a parent that questions anything , the administration will use intimidation tactics towards you and your child. Some teachers are great, but after a couple years the great teachers will leave and usually do. This administration does not ca

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThere are notable areas of concern regarding the school’s administration and leadership practices that have impacted the overall school culture, teacher morale, and communication.One of the main challenges at P.S. 32 appears to be a lack of consistent and transparent communication from administration. Teachers often feel decisions are made without adequate collaboration or input from staff, which can lead to confusion, inconsistency in expectations, and frustration. This top-down approach has, at times, created a climate where staff feel unheard and undervalued, limiting opportunities for genuine teamwork and shared problem-solving. Leadership that is more collaborative and responsive could strengthen the school community and lead to more cohesive implementation of initiatives.Another concern is the uneven support teachers receive when addressing student behavior or academic challenges. While some administrators are proactive and visible, others appear disengaged or unavailable when issues arise. This inconsistency can make it difficult for teachers to feel supported in maintaining a positive learning environment. A stronger administrative presence within classrooms—focused on partnership and professional growth rather than solely compliance—would help foster trust and improve both teacher and student outcomes.
