Growing up to NYC's Department of Education from kindergarten through 6th grade was not enjoyable…read morebut a living memory of terrorized nightmare. The teachers at this elementary school were uncompassionate and are not sensitive towards each child's learning level. If I could turn back time and be a kid again to re-start my education I would go elsewhere where teachers hone their communciation skills in the most sincerity and kindness. P.S. 62 Chester Park School school zone lies in Richmond Hill on the border of Ozone Park with an intersection of EEK as the quality of NYC's public education system greatly declined!!

Ahhhhhh childhood memories. One of the greatest schools. When I was a child the school system in my…read moreneighborhood was so good. Many parents didn't even think of private school. My family sent my cousins and I there the three of us grew up making friends here and really learning a lot. The area is safe and close to the public library. Over the years though the school expanded heavily to accommodate the growing community of forest hills. The school it self changed a lot. My younger brother (now 16) had been sent to private school after attending this school for two years. My parents say it's not the same. How ever this is my opinion and I feel that it was honestly GREAT!

We were invited to attend a funeral service on this church today. The location is easy to find…read more There is a small parking for attendees. The good thing is next to a commercial center that owners may not mind using few of the available spots. Spanish community comprised the neighborhood and was not surprised that the mass proper was in Spanish language. The church ambiance is so beautiful, old fashioned architecture, old standard church size with beautiful decor. The music that could be played by the player from an organ sounds beautifully... it flows on the air especially coming from the balcony. The attending priest was so humble and at point with his lecture. Short but meaningful service.

Our Lady of Mercy grammer school had a high enrollment when I was a student there for eight years,…read moregraduating in 1985. Classes were small enough that all students received individual attention and the teachers made every effort to ensure the student body would be ready for the high school years that were fast approaching. In terms of size, each grade one through eight had enough students that there were two classes for each grade level, so perhaps fourty children per grade. Life was quite enjoyable as a student at OLM as I attended classes with many of the kids I grew up with in the Forest Hills area. Homework and some classroom work could be done collectively, pranks were sprung occasionally. The dress code was shirt and tie for the boys from the from first grade eventually dress jackets made their way into the required daily wear. This set a nice precedent for our future in the professional world and it was really no extra effort to gear up into our daily regalia. English and math were the strongest subject areas in OLM's curricula in my opinion, not to suggest science, history or any other subjects were lacking in any way. But once in high school, I felt I had a excellent foundation and a bit of a better start on other students from other schools. As it was a Catholic school we had events during a portion of the school year, like the May Crowning and a few others. The Sacraments of communion and confirmation although preformed in church, were learned about in school. It was not called theology, perhaps it was called religion, the name is currently evading me. Children grew through and thrived in their Our Lady of Mercy years in academics, Catholic faith and very close bonds with friends. In fact my friends in grammer school are my closest friends today, some twenty eight years later.
