This school is on their third principal since I moved here, and all of them are horrible. Both my kids attended this school and both experienced physical assaults with injury. Nothing was ever done. They only want attendance they don't care about anything else. The new principal ruined everything se

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have noticed a huge change from the last Administration to the new one. They are very attentive to the students of all backgrounds and academic needs. They have remodeled and made the school an inviting place. Many new teachers who are kind and educated.Parent Review1y ago - Ps 62 Inocensio Casanova

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI used to go to this school a few years ago. It's an amazing school! I was in P.S. 130 since first grade. The education there is great, and the teachers and staff are really nice. I'm not a current student at P.S. 130 anymore, but I got to School 30 in Yonkers. But I am writing this review because I want other students to attend this amazing school and meet new friends and have a good education. New students would love this school, and so will the parents! The classrooms are like big, there are smart boards, and I think there are closets in the classrooms so students can hang their bags and coats. I would love to visit P.S. 130 again, because it brings back amazing memories. I would recommend this school, 10/10!This review is written by Abigail BatistaOther Review3y ago - St. Anselm School
