Bedford Park Elementary School

One of the best school in NYC....!!!

PSms20 grade School because teachers are respectful.

St. Philip Neri is an okay school. I personally had a good experience going there but many of my friends did not. The way that the recent administration handled disciplinary actions was terrible and often biased by the principal's past perceptions/views of you. Barely over half of the teachers were good some were alright, and there were a large minority with short tempers and others who would drift off topic when teaching. The school also needs to improve its afterschool activities and such. With new funding from the archdiocese I expected that clubs and activities would improve but they didn't. Of course, the school had other problems with structure and stuff but still. There are counselors for kids that need them which is good for mental health. My advice to any students/parents reading this is make sure you value your own personal journey if you go here, if you want to go to a super good school then going here won't be enough you have to work hard for it.

Very good school, there was order in the neighborhood, unfortunately they closed it and now they put a Charter School which is a complete mess, the parents come to drop off/pick up the students by car and create tremendous traffic, they block the driveways and are rude when someone ask them to move their cars. Many of them come with loud music in their cars in the mornings. They do not respect the neighborhood to which they do not belong. Lousy decision to put that Charter school here. People in the neighborhood disagree, we have PS56 and it does not show that parents disorder.

This is a okay school if your child is a girl. The school is very sexist not to mention unfair to the male students. Little things count like if a boy is in the front of the line he has to go to the back to be a "gentleman". A girl has a very small chance at getting into trouble no matter what they do. Recently my classmate burped loudly as a joke at lunch to be funny, they teacher gave him detention. Detention is not to just be thrown around, its not a good punishment for a joke. He said excuse me and apologized without even grinning. A girl burped really loudly and laughed loudly, said excuse me and the teacher didn't even look at her weird. That is completely outrageous and makes absolutely no sense. Recently a girl in my class was talking back to a teacher and practically arguing with her because she did not feel like participating, she did not get any punishment. One of my classmates apparently side eyed a teacher after they were screaming at them and being extra because they were doing a handshake with another student in the hallway and got detention. Girls in this school tend to be very rude to teachers, and will often get no punishment, but as soon as a boy disagrees with a teacher he gets a harsh punishment. The school is not a safe place emotionally for young men, they will be brought down. If your child is a young women the school has some pros for them since they will face no bad marks on their record, be treated kindly instead of poorly etc... This school would be amazing if they treated both genders the same, otherwise from that the school is just about fine except for the homework loads. It leaves us as students little to no free time when we get home. The physical environment is safe, and teachers do not put their hands on children. The school does perform quite well academically besides its flaws, but it does not make up for a lot of things. If your child is male he might be respectful to women, but in return will have low self esteem and think of themselves lower than women at any given time. Everyone should be treated equally, not unfairly, this is unfair. If you decide to pick this school for a young male child remember to teach them their worth, and how to respectfully stand up for themselves.

My children and I absolutely love City of Faith Christian School. We’ve been blessed to be apart of the COFCS family for the past 14 years, and I can truly say it has been one of the greatest decisions we’ve made for our family.The teachers and staff are not only dedicated educators but also compassionate mentors who pour their hearts into every child. City of Faith beautifully blends strong academics with Christian values, shaping students into confident, kind, and capable young leaders.Because it’s a smaller school, students benefit from more personalized attention and genuine care. It has been such a gift, especially for my youngest, who is quite shy. The teachers have gone above and beyond to make him feel seen, heard, supported, and confident.What touches me most is how passionate the teachers are about celebrating each student’s growth. They share moments of pride and joy with you, reminding us that they truly see and value every child.My youngest was sick and due to their quick thinking, he was able to get the medical attention needed. I am eternally grateful for all they have and continue to do.I wholeheartedly recommend City of Faith Christian School to any parent looking for a nurturing, faith-base environment where children are not only educated but loved. Your child will thrive academically, spiritually, and emotionally here.
