Cornelia F. Bradford No. 16 Elementary School

I went to this school I love the principal she is so cool. The 2009 - 2011 teachers are awesome

My son started at this school in October 2011 after attending a private school in Jersey City. I have to say that this school has an excellent curriculum that is challenging and far more stimulating and creative than his former private school. The staff at this school are warm and professional. The principal is always receptive and effective. I remain in awe as to how strong the parent's association is at this school. In addition, it is refreshing to see how supportive the principal is towards the parent's association. This type of synergy was sorely lacking at my son's former school. Not only is this school well equipped academically, their activities offered such as swimming, guitar, chess, computer lab and enrichment programs further serves to demonstrate how exemplary this school is. I am very happy that my son loves this school and wakes up every day with a thirst for learning.

My daughter studied in this school for an year and was in love with it. The Principal ,the teachers and the staff are very encouraging and guide kids gently . She received lot of love and support from all her teachers and got a lot of confidence in herself. Unfortunately we had to move out of the city. I will really miss the school so will my daughter.

Overall, love the school. I would like more balance after school activities, however with the strong PTA I am certain it will get done.

My children attend this school this year and i really am happy with it! i have one in 1st grade and one in kindergarten. The teachers they have this year are really excellent. The school is a nice size as well and very well kept. The office girls are very nice and always helpful. The town is also doing away with the trailers on the playground this year and pk4 and kindergarten are moving into the main buliding. A bran new park and playground is going to be built in place of the trailers. This is going to be great for the kids at recess. The park should be ready for next school year. I would definently recommend this school to all the paulus hook parents and all the families who are zoned for it!

I think the school is good academicaly. But there r no after school activities in the school. Also i think kids from the different area comes in this school, other than the kids live in that area. My daughter`s teacher is just great. But i heard it from my daughter that there r lots of kids in her class who r not intrested in studies and who doesn`t pay any attention in the class and just ignore the teacher which is a very sad part.

i think this school is the best school in new jersey .if your child needs to go to a new school i recommend p.s.16 that meet high academic standards. they have a pool for gym.the students treat your child like they want to be treated. so come on down to the school they are always waiting.

I realize that many middle school parents are upset at how quickly the school was changed from an elementary school to a lower school. There are a lot of hurt feelings and it is understandable. However, my daughter has had absolutely wonderful teachers and her learning experience has been very good. Sure, there are a few disrespectful children -- you find that in every school. But that has not diminished my feelings about the school.

The school is a great disappointment. I would not recommend any parent to enroll their child to this school. The teachers and principles main concern is the numbers not the children. Dont watch your child fail in theis school.

I am very disappointed with the children's disrespect and very 'adult' attitude My daughter's experience in PS #16 this year has been less than warm and fuzzy. There are some good aspects of the school but more disappointing ones in my opinion
