They lost my 5 year old child then blamed it on them.
Posted by a parent on 9/6/2025Principal Lauren Kish is not a good fit for this school or this community. Look at how many teachers have left the school. She is not present with students or families. Behavior incidents and stories of misbehaving kids in my daughter's class are constant now. I am glad this was our last year but fe
Posted by a parent on 6/27/2023Frustration with the lack of honest conversations revolving around high incidents that go unreported.
Posted by a parent on 5/22/2019It has been a horrible experience at this school. I am extremely frustrated with the lack of empathy for students that are bullied, the lack of support for parents that want change, and the counselor’s lack of ownership to advocating for students.

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMost of the staff have attitudes. Have no idea what’s going on. They’ll hire just about anyone . Main office staff is the worst . There clueless , with attitudes . School safety will allow anyone in the building & you could wonder around . My child wondered around for a hour was scared and didn’t know where to go.so I walked. In to see what goes on and was able to wonder the school for at least a hour before anyone asked what I was doing.With everything happening in this world . I expect better! School safety will allow students to fight ,get bullied . My favorite part is asking school safety where I should go and them saying I don’t know not my job. Call main office receptionist says the same thing .. I’m curious what there job is??Parent Review3y ago - Ps 110 Theodore Schoenfeld

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy niece kindergarten and first grade teacher were absolutely amazing(hence to why I gave the 5 rating for learning and teaching). Other than that this school need some major changes in it especially when it comes to how the safety and family engagement is. They are handled very poorlyParent Review3y ago - Ps Ms 4 Crotona Park West
