Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-06-25 “The teachers in this school are great. My daughter attends this school and have so far received a great education. The parent coordinator has been a great help to me. I'm so glad the school has her.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-04-11 “I am a parent of two children in this school and I would like to acknowledge our Parent Coordinator. She is a wonderful asset to our school. When a problem arises, we as parents know that we can go to her and she goes over and beyond to make herself available and see the issue through to the end. Most importantly, our children know that they can go to her at any time if the need arises. She shows exemplary service in her duties and we are proud to have her as our Parent Coordinator” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2007-11-09 “I just graduated from this school last year. I thought this school was a great experience. The teachers teach you if you don't understand. The principal is nice, but she was also strict. I thought this school met all the standards. This school even got us ready for junior high. They got us ready by: Each teacher was teaching a subject. We went around the school to get to our classes just like junior high. It was fun. A former student, Christie” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 4 2007-02-14 “I graduated from 162 2 years ago. I loved the experience. The teachers were wonderful. I learned alot.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2007-01-03 “My child is in Kindergarten currently and so far we've had a good experience. My child's teacher is fantastic and caring. We were lucky to get one of the best. My child is learning so much and is reading books on her own now. They focus primarily on reading and math. However, art and music do not seem much of a priority if any at all. I'm not even sure what they do for physical education either. The majority of the children come from Asian immigrant parents, therefore, there is some hesitation to participate due to work schedules or lack of understanding English. Overall, its a good school, but it would be nice if all the teachers were as great as the one my child has this year and if there was more of an emphasis on creativity and the like.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2006-12-14 “My son attends this school and I feel that the quality of the teaching staff is excellent. These are wonderful caring people. I have had some not so wonderful experience with the administration. They are not concerned with the students as they should be. I've also sought the help of the parent coordinator and found that she was not only concerned with my child but also with me as a parent. The school has some exceptional qualities and the administration should open their eyes and give some respect to it's staff of dedicated teachers.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-09-18 “I believe the negative review below is unfair - there was construction being done around the school and the children were kept indoors for their safety for most of 2005. The school also has a large percentage of students for whom english is not their first language. I have been in the school for four years and have had a completely opposite experience. The teachers have been caring and wonderful. The PTA is excellent however participation on the part of many parents is non-existent. I hope the reviewer's experience has improved because this school can be a wonderful place for a child to learn.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-03-15 “This school provides a safe and nurturing environment for young children. My daughter in in kindergarten, so this was our first school experience. We see great improvements in her scholastic proficiencies and at the same time she's having fun. The PTA is very strong and adds to the overall atmosphere. The school has a healthy ethnic mix that introduces children to the 'melting pot' environment of NYC.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-03-15 “My daughter attends P.S. 162 as a first grader. She has always recieved wonderful attention from the teachers, and the principal is very involved. I am very happy with this school, it is a star NYC public school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2005-02-09 “My child has atttended PS 162 for 4 years. It is one of the worst schools academically in District 26 even though its test scores put it over the citywide average. It is extremely overcrowded and special services like occupational therapy are given in the hallway, much to the embarassment of the child receiving it. Classes average at least 25 students and many upper grades have over 30 students. The students are jammed into the cafeteria for lunch where they sit shoulder to shoulder on benches and shoving is common practice. The students seldom go outside at lunch and physical activity is discouraged. The children basically sit for 6.5 hours. Teacher quality is uneven. Many older teachers don't even bother anymore, they are just waiting to retire.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2004-07-22 “I choose to send my child to PS 162 and I am very happy with the decision. The teachers, staff, principal are very dedicated to the students. My sons teacher was excellent and from what I can see the other teachers are just as outstanding. Mrs. Durando, the principal, always has a smile on her face and with such a large student body, I am sure that is hard to do. I really cannot say enough about PS 162. The high ranking of the school tells a great deal about the high quality of teachers that are there. I am glad that my children will be getting a great education in a safe and warm enviroment.”
