School Reviews
2 2/14/2015
My child has been in this school for five years, since kindergarten. There are many pros and cons to this school.
Pros
- most teachers show concern for the welfare of their students and are friendly and approachable
- school has non-academic classes, such as arts, music, and gym available to all students of all grades
Cons
- office staff is about as unfriendly as it gets; they ignore you when you walk in and then act like you disrupted them from something important
- leadership/mgmt is terrible; when all's well, they are sweet; when issues are brought to their attention, they try to sweep it under the rug and pretend nothing happened.
- not all teachers are properly licensed for what they are teaching; ie. g&t, special ed, etc
- parent coordinators switch every other year; the newest one speaks to parents very loudly as if we were all deaf or as if we were kids
Review Ps 220 Edward Mandel. Reviews should be a few sentences in length. Please include any comments on:
- Quality of academic programs, teachers, and facilities
- Availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities
