Okaay I have To Say I Go To This School And Im In The Seventh Grade Now . Ive Been In This School For 3 years Already And Well Its Okay .. Ive learned alot from this school and Well At First My favorite Subject Was Social Studies And I Hated Math Like 100% But Now Since I Have new Teachers And Better Education I Love Math And Dont Really like Social Studies Well Yeah Bye :)

For me school is safer than having the City of Paterson, and I never saw in another school where the principal and several teachers are receiving children in the street when we leave in the morning. It is a school where teachers and in general all officers and other personnel are seinte commitment to it. Discipline is essential for school programs is not the typical after school from other public schools. Most parents are involved, and encourage the children in a way that every day want to be better, I wish I had more schools like this in the city.

This is best School In Paterson. My Kids are totally change, Now he is more responsible kids, And School is very safe .Not likes other... We should support those kind school for our kids. They are our future. Everybody know how is public school ? For me look like Childcare, they don't teach nothing and gangs control the school.

I have to say that my child and I are very disappointed in PCSST.My child has not been challenged at all at this school. I was amazed by the lack of reading the children were doing. The students seemed to control the school. Applying for the school was more rigorous than their curriculum. I felt this was a waste of a 6th grade year!!!!! Back to public school we go!!!!! Any parent interested in this school should see it for ur self word of mouth can be very misleading

PCSST provides an evironment desgned for everyone to grow up and be independent. This school helped me grow out of my shell. I thank PCSST for that. They also make me feel welcome, like I can talk to anyone. This school is great for shy children who need to become outgoing.

Hi, I also have my Daughter, who is currently 13, attend at Paterson Charter School. This is her 2nd year and she has as much fun now going to school as she did her first year. My Daughter has attended a private school since she was in Kindergarten and this was a plesant change for my daughter. She always was an Honar student and still continues to be one. I can only recomand this school with a clear confedence to all parents. This School will always have my support. Mrs. Posada
