Ps 73 Bronx

Arthur Tappan 46 is not in a rich neighborhood, so the best education is not to be expected. From my experience it is a TACTLESS environment. My child complained daily about the profanity and rude remarks made by the 7th grade math teacher Wilson and did not do well overall and emotionally at the school. This school and its principal condone the yelling and negligence of some of the teachers by not requiring them to practice common or healthy communication skills as adults. The school does not work with us as parents so that we can mutually do the best we can at encouraging our children towards promotion or at helping them gain a proper understanding of what is expected of them as a student's/child. Schools have zones but if you can change schools, your child would benefit.

My experience as part of this school community has been disappointing. No autonomy to do things that would help kids. No recognition for trying to create a classroom community that works. Teachers and staff that really try to make things better get torn down, called out, and often brought in for disciplinary meetings. There are no solid systems in place and no consistency from one year to the next.

My experience as a parent at this school has been very welcoming and peaceful. The atmosphere is very welcoming and the staff are very nice and the children looks very happy and polite, they follow instructions and they work together. I am happy bullying is not permitted in this environment and the love of God is taught. The school is very structured with there learning curriculum and has help my daughter who was struggling in the public school to excel to the top for 4 years and is till making very good grades in her current 5th year. Thanks BMHS for helping my daughter see how smart she really is.

This is the worst school. Has changes a lot over the years
