P.S.10 Magnet School for Math, Science & Design Technology

Incredible principal, faculty and parent community make this school a wonderful place for my two boys to learn and grow. My oldest son is now in 3rd grade and my youngest is in 1st. Every year has been fantastic. The school supports the whole child, and as much as possible, ensures that students get exposure to and a balance of music, art, theater, physical education and academics. The teachers are terrific. There is a growing PTA and parent community that is incredibly active and supportive. The library is beautiful and the science program is strong. The kids are hands on from day one -- learning how to be scientists in everything they do. The after school program offers a wonderful variety of options-soccer, yoga, gymnastics, drama, puppet making, cooking, various art classes, guitar, percussion, gardening, lego club, etc.). The school community is warm, creative and supportive. We are so happy to be part of the PS 10 family. It's a special place.

My family has been at PS10 for 4 years now, and we love it. This school is really wonderful for so many reasons. Caring teachers and great administrators who works with teachers and parents to make the school the best it can be. The principal is dedicated to educating the whole student--so visual arts, theater, and music classes get just as much attention as science and math. The parents are really involved and committed to the school, and what's important, the principal appreciates and encourages their help. As with most public schools, however, the down side it a little too much emphasis on test prep and homework, plus class sizes are unfortunately rising to due city/state budget cuts. Yet the principal is really creative in getting grants and working with corporate and non-profit partners to fill in the gaps.

My granddaughter has a fantastic time there, she never wants to go home, and doesn't want to stay home when she is sick. She just loves school too much to stay away.

Everyone cares about the education of the children and making it better everyday This school has so much to offer its amazing!

After doing parochial school, PS 10 was an eye opener with all the programs and extra-curricular programs that the staff and PTA can offer the students, what a marvelous oppurtunity. Truly a hidden secret, but not so secret anymore. Very accommodating and user friendly for getting parents involved and staying in the know about things that concern the school, the student in relation to the community.
