I was concerned about public school because my children where sheltered from a lot of things. My husband and I asked friends about the various private schools, we heard wonderful reviews once enrolling my children I am very satisfied with our decision. As with all schools there is good and bad however the good far outweighs the bad. With this in mind I tell anyone who ask I definitely recommend this school. I just wish they had til 12th grade.

Don't listen to others, it is a good school if you try your best academically. Although the school…read moredoesn't have the utmost highest form of education, you can trust me when I say the 90% of the staff cares about you if you tell them when something is wrong. Tell the principal if you have any concerns, she listens. Some people in this school act as if the school is bad for them not trying hard on their work.... Go to this school if you want to feel safe!

I'm sorry but terrible high school. The only reason I went here was because it was zoned for me. I…read moredon't know if they changed their staff, but they were the absolute worst. The teachers are horrible and the school was never really clean. It was traumatizing. Go to Fort.

In the beginning, I moved too quickly in my reviews! My niece is getting better at mathematics and her vocabulary has improved tremendously! I strongly recommend this school to other parents.

They are happy, well educated and motivated kids who understand what it means to try hard, raise the bar and feel cool learning and knowing. And no, my kids are not whiz-bang book nerds. They are normal kids. They play sports, love candy, want to play video games every chance they get yet they read and solve math problems at a level much higher than their age group. The teachers are loving and caring. The school community is supportive. The parent community is hard working, creative and down to earth.

The school is nice and everything but it does need improvement…read more I do recommend going here tho.

This review is based on the open house I attended last fall for Nursery (Pre-K 3)…read more The open house was very well organized. Several students took us around and showed us all the classrooms including Nursery (full day and half day - 2 separate classes). We were able to ask questions directly to the students, speak with the teachers and see the teacher interact with children. At the end of the open house, the Principal shared the school's vision, mission and goals. She also mentioned to us that several 8th graders were accepted at top high schools in New York including Townsend Harris High School and Stuyvesant High School. This school has up to 20 students per class. They have an early drop off and late pick up program, but they do not offer lunch. Parents can sign up children to take different classes (tennis, hockey, etc) during the after school program.

The teachers are very well-qualified, responsive to the children (they "meet the kids where they are") and assign an appropriate / varying levels of homework.  The small size of the very diverse student body (less than 400 kids from early childhood (3 years old) to eighth grade allows each student to know one another and to be known by the teachers/administrators.  There are never any "back to school nerves" at our house!  Excellent music program, afterschool enrichment classes + afterschool care available.  Though we have very good public schools in the area, there is no comparison to the quality of what SSCA provides.  Easy to access on F, G train (lots of kids travel on public transportation/school bus).  Kids have time outside either in an "open streets" access or via a short walk to Prospect Park.  Very devoted parents/alumni.  Current 8th grade class has received a small fortune in scholarships to top Catholic + specialized high schools.  A gem of a school.  Check it out!
