You would not believe what you have to bring in to get your child into this PUBLIC SCHOOL (Dutch…read moreBroadway). They would not even accept the documents until they are notarized, so now i have to pay someone. I have a friend in Merrick and she didn't have to bring in half of what I did and their schools are better. I called the district office to see why, they said we live so close to the queens border, they have a lot of parents trying to come over. So your idea is to invade our privacy. Apparently the tactic isn't working because the school is still over-crowded. That is not my major concern. If this school was located in the city in a low income area, then I would praise this school, but it's not. It's in a town where the residents are paying an average of $6,000. in taxes whether we can afford it or not. The school does just enough to try and satisfy the parents. Keep your game night and all the other crap and teach them chess, piano etc...I take my children to the museum, we talk about favorite books. No not all parents do it, but it's not because they don't want to, they don't have the time. They are working hard trying to pay off the home's TAXES. So my child should be coming home telling about all the new and exciting things they have done. Instead i see the same old stuff i see in every underprivileged school. Just so you know, they seem to spread out all the problem kids, so your child will be in a class with a child that's known to punch, slap or hit other children. What does the principal say ??? LET ME KNOW IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN AND WE WILL REFER THAT CHILD FOR COUNSELING. Ok, that child has been like that since kindergarten, exactly when will he be referred. Just don't go there and believe it compares to the best in Long Island, it's grazing the bottom and will stay there until and overhaul is done.

This school has really deteriorated over the years. Couples move to this area thinking that the…read morepublic schools are so exceptional; however, they quickly realize that the school system here is a mess. Many parents who have children who excel decide to transfer their children to private schools such as Kellenberg, Sacred Heart, Chaminade and Mary Louis Academy. The teachers do little to nothing to challenge the more advanced students, thereby encouraging the parents of the high-performing students to transfer them elsewhere. I was in this school recently and the hallways smelled of marijuana.

Clean common areas, well lit parking lots and walkways. The football/soccer field is neatly trimmed with a recently replaced rubberized track circumnavigating the field. The baseball field is above average for that of a public school. The hallways and gymnasium, albeit tidy, are a bit outdated. The staff, however, is polite, helpful and very friendly. Definitely a school I would have enjoyed being matriculated at.

Hi, yes I go to this school and I am in 6 grade. Just like Jabari I love the education here and you…read moreshould bring your child here to excel in excellence. There are also many school trips that you can go too and they are very fun. Ages start at 2 years old to 8th grade. I love this school because the teachers can support you with tutoring or just some extra help when the teacher has time. And I am not getting paid to do this I am just spreading the news to everyone even though there are som negative reviews.

The teachers are not helpful, and there are only three 5th-grade teachers. I would not recommend this school. For the 5th-grade graduation ceremony, there were barely any decorations. It felt rushed, like they just wanted to get it over with and send the students on their way. It makes me wonder where the money is going. Overall, academically, mentally, and physically, I would not send my child here. Choosing this school was a big mistake.
