Ps 583

P.S 100 is a great school. Principal Arbolino has brought podcasting, hip hop dance, yoga, ballroom dancing and many other fun activities for the students. The students love it.

I was very hesitant placing my child here, given the neighborhood and the ratings.But pre k was a good first experience for my child. His prek teacher was responsive to my questions and concerns about his first year in school. In kindergarten , my child was placed in "Leadership class" which help him stay with more "focused " students. his kindergarten teacher , was great. She seemed to have everything well organized for the kids. But thats were it stopped. After the first 2yrs i felt a disconnect bw parent and teacher. If you decide to join pta - don't expect to accomplish much without a dedicated office. Not treated with much respect. And the nurse at the school is a joke.

If I could give this school a 0 star rating I would. The new principal is a bully and so unprofessional. She is impossible to talk to. She will hide and try to ignore you if you want to talk with her. The school is filthy. The children are hardly learning. This school has truly gone down hill. I wouldn’t recommend this school to anymore.
