St Charles School

There 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. Stay away.

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.

We love this school. Would recommend to everybody. Staff is amazing, teachers are amazing. Principal is amazing.

Really disappointed with this school. There is no parent engagement only in pre-k or anything fun for the kids only the carnival.

My son is disabled and excelling in this school! I love the caring environment and energy of the teachers and staff. Amazing school. Won’t trade it for the world!
