Read what parents are saying about Ps 55 Benjamin FranklinMost 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??
Posted by a parent on 8/3/2022This school is the best all students should come to PS 55 if your children is not coming to PS 55 the missing something great
Posted by a community member on 8/1/2013During the summer there are different people from different schools. I am curious why your child is in summer school. Why didn't he or she do good during the school year so he doesn't have to go to summer school. I never had one of my children in summer school.
Posted by a parent on 8/17/2011I agree with the teacher who left a comment about the school this is the first school in my life that the kids run it.My son goes here but I will be pulling him out of here and trying my best to put him in a better school so he doesn't think that school is about running around,fighting not listening.He was in summer school I went to pick him up can you believe the teacher who was in charge of my son safety didn't know where he was at.He didn't even look scared that my son could have been taken by someone other than his parents.Parents it's not haters it's giving these kids a great education not being friends with the kids and letting them do whatever they want is pushing them so they can grow up and be teacher,lawyers,doctors etc I guess some parents just don't understand.
Posted by a parent on 8/16/2011This school is HORRIBLE Do not send your children here. The kids do whatever they want to and no body stops them. School safety will not rush to stop a fight. The administrators are unapproachable. The children run around they building like they are the adults and the adults simply do not care....and do not even bother to try and meet with the principal because he is never available to hear the complaints about the chaos that goes on in his building.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AveragePrincipal 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 feel sorry for the children and families that remain in this school.Parent Review10mo ago - Ps 110 Theodore Schoenfeld

4/10GreatSchools 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 Review1y ago - Ps 132 Garrett A Morgan

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is the worst school, my child went to this school and have been in multiple fights and bullied. Also the staff does not help at all because they are very rude and obviously shows no interest in the children. Also unfortunately My child have experience racism and speaks about not being black enough which should not even be mentioned to children. I do not recommend this school for any kid and do not want anyone to experience what my child have been through going to this school.Parent Review11mo ago - Wildflower New York Charter School
