P.S. 203 Oakland Gardens School Reviews

 
PS 203 is a great school. Some political stuff that goes on...otherwise...happy that my kids were privelaged to go.

The Principal is very devisive and manipulative. If your child is not superior, do not contemplate this school. Favoritism rules among teachers, parents, students.

Its a great school for my child! It's a wonderful place to learn and very fun! The teachers and wonderful adults. They always succeed and it is a great place!

Principal is contentious and devisive. She rules with an iron fist and if you cross her, look out. The school constantly has its hand out for 'donations' and a steady stream of additional supplies for projects etc. Too much attention to test scores and teaching to the test. Far too much parental jockeying for 'top class teachers'.

One of the great schools part of District 26. Great educators, many extracurricular activities and huge parent involvement make the Oakland Gardens School an atractive environment for the students and parents alike.

This school is very diverse. It has an enhanced program of academics and activities. The community and parents in general are very involved. The principal is very devoted and the teachers are young, prepared and energetic.

I have a daughter who has been a student since Kindergarten and will be graduating June 2006. Overall I am pleased, however, I do have some concerns. Too much emphasis is placed on City and State exam preparations while some subtle and important learning criteria are overlooked, such as penmanship, vocabulary, and wrting skills development. In addition, basic intoduction to foreign languages, science and history are not given the attention or emphasis which should be provided to nurturing elementary students. Finally, class sizes are too large and the teachers are at best slightly better than moderate. In closing, I'm concerned that overall student development is being sacrificed for school reputation and salary bonuses. P.S. 203 is a good school, however, if your looking for a 'great' school - look elsewhere.

Great school. I am very happy with the staff and all the programs.

pretty good school. Quiet environment and good student source.

If your child is not perfect do not go to this school. They are interested in numbers and do not want to deal with any child that has any difficulties. This school does not focus on the child and his or her needs.

I agree with a previous post where the focus is on test scores and less emphasis on overall child development.
