I have never seen such a wonderful group of people who care so much and treat all of the children as if they were there own. They worked with me all the time no matter what and that was very important to me... It is such a great feeling to know that your child will suceed, get the best education and have a great school year and have fun at the same time. For the first time in 9 years my son Loves school and cant stop saying how much he misses school. Thank you all for the best school year , keep up the great work and we miss you very much! =)” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2009-05-26 “Both of my children attended school at PS 234. My son attend school from the day they open for the first time in 2004 until 2008. The teachers are great and Ms. Pallos the princinpal is great. The school is big and eventhough they don't wear uniforms I love how everything is handle. I really miss my children going there. Everything was more organize.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2008-08-12 “My son went to this school. Was the public best school he could go.

What more can you ask for?” Posted By: teacher Quality Score: 5 2008-03-23 “P.S. 234Q is a home that houses over 700 children per day. In the four years since we have been opened our doors, not only have our test scores risen to new heights, but so have our administrators. Having left another school in the district to join the staff at P.S. 234Q, I am honored and lucky to be part of this family. Mrs. Pallos along with her three assistant prinicipals make it their business to love and care for every one of their students as well as their staff. I have become a better teacher, through the guidance of these four amazing women. Our job is to make sure that our students learn and we go above and beyond our call of duty. Mrs. Pallos you are an amazing leader who helps guide those around you, I am truly grateful to be part of this amazing school.” Posted By: teacher Quality Score: 5 2008-01-30 “Bravo P.S.234 for its achievements in four short years! It is to be commended for its concern for the children, their parents and the community. there is an administration and faculty of new and seasoned personnel who, through their interactions and cooperation, work together for the benefit of all children. The academic and artistic programs instituted by the administration as well as complyhing to the Dept. of Ed. regulations, seek to and do address the numerous needs of all students.” Posted By: teacher Quality Score: 5 2008-01-26 “This staff and administration cares about and loves all the students. They are respecful and helpful to all the parents regardless of any language barriers. and because of its great leadership, PS 234 has become a great school since its doors opened just five years ago. I am proud to be a part of PS 234.” Posted By: other Quality Score: decline 2008-01-18 “The Principal is a devoted caring professional. The children always come first. I have witnessed Mrs. Pallos s compassion and genuine concern for the children. I have seen Mrs. Pallos console a crying child, calm a troubled child, and ease parents concerns. To the staff her guidance and instruction is right on the mark.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2008-01-16 “My child goes to this school and I have complete confidence in the current leadership. The environment explicits good discipline and tight controls. Teachers are hardworking and very interactive. Although I am an immirant as well but I never had any issues . As far my feedback is concerned, I foresee my child's bright tomorrow in the prevailing setup.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2007-11-17 “This is a fairly new school and parents might get the impression that this is a good school. My experience with staff and teachers has been very interesting. The teachers are fairly young and are manipulated, they would not make a move until administration says so, so the teachers are not on the side of the students in anyway. The principal has a handful of staff that acts like her sidekicks. Their attitude is not appropriate for a school environment. Diversity is not welcomed in this school. However, the reality is that there exists a large population of immigrants in this school and language at times might be a problem, this school does not in anyway work with these parents. This school is springs to action very quickly in an attempt to label certain children. And they are adamant about it. There is plenty of talking down to students and parents alike. This is a small school and has a lot of potential to be a great school but with a different principal and staff. This school is in desperate need of a principal who has an open mind and posse s people skills and most importantly a heart for the well being of the students.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-11-03 “My son completed pre-k at PS 234 last June and his transition to kindergarten was very smooth. He is sounding out words, learning to write, adding numbers and being creative. The homeworks are short, fun and consistent as they should be at this grade. Each day of the week rotates through at least one additional class of music, computers, library, art or gym. He loves his teacher and looks forward to school in the morning. PS 234 offers many workshops to parents to help themselves and their children. There is an impressive mix of ethnic backgrounds & nationalities enrolled, and an even more impressive effort by the staff to open lines of communication with parents. PS 234 is providing my children with a solid educational foundation, more so if I stay involved. Good luck & RELAX...if you are researching here, then you care, & they will be ok.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-04-07 “My son is in Kindergarten, and I really am impressed with how much he has learned. The arts are stressed, and the academic standards are high.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2005-10-11 “Very unimpressed. The leadership is poor and there were several violent discipline problems.”
