Hi, I love PS # 11. I think it is the best school in Jersey city, when I came from NY. to live in this city I did not know where register my three kids, I was afraid because my kids always were to private schools but, my experience in MLK Jr. PS # 11 is so good, the teacher are realy professionals they know how to teach and they are very entusiastic. I wholeheartedly recommend this school for your childs.

My son has been going to MLK school since pre-k and is now in kindergarten. The teaching method is very good and so is the environment. I just think that in any school you have a group of children who think they superior and therefore will bother the others. It's always been the case and will always be. That said, MLK is a wonderful public school.

Please don't send your children in this school. The security is bad. Other than that the teachers are good just need to teach your kids how to defend themselves from being bullied by other kids.

P.S.#11 is a great school. They have great staff members. My daughter is in kindergarten and she's very happy with the school. The kids are not as bad as I thought. The environment is very friendly. The majority of kids that goes to this school are hispanic and asian. I didn't make the wrong decision of sending my daughter to this school. She went to St.Aedans school for pre-k because I was scared to send her to public school. But when the school didn't take actions about her being bullied by another kid. I had no choice but to try out for public school. Public schools are very strict about bullying. They have laws about kids being bullied in school. I felt that private school didn't take the problem too seiously. Thank God I tried p.s.#11 because my daughter now comes home with a happy face.

I just moved to the neighborhood and enrolled my 2 kids in MLK. I think, first it should be mentioned that school uniforms are required. And also after researching the school on this site, i can say the demographic breakdown of the student body looks nothing like the 'pie' provided, leaving the pie not nearly so evenly sliced as one may be led to belive. I suggest visiting the school before deciding.
