P.S. 114 Ryder Elementary School

We've been hearing great things about Ravens School, 1102 East 92nd. Found out they just implemented technology classes and Montessori for the nursery school and pre-k. The new staff and leadership is definately needed for Canarsie.

great school i love when its time to leave they go home as they come out and all wear uniform and those kids must have a good score like a 4

I'm disappointed in this school. When i pick up my daughter i notice there was a cut right under her eyes,and i ask her what happen she told me that she doesn't want to go school anymore. I find out she has bully and the staff member or teacher did nothing. I'm also disappointed at the homework she been getting book in a bag where the child had to color 3 little rectangle. What are they learning how to color....

I've read the reviews you have posted, and after reading don't have a great deal of confidence about a recent incident has been handled regarding my grandson, my grand son was hit in the head with a bowling pin after winning a competition, I seriously question how this situation was handled, next stop district office.

This school is out of order i dont blame the teachers or students i blame the principal. i have my 3 kids who attend there, my son is in kindergarten since september to now all he been gettin is book in a bag...it's like they dont teach them anything anymore...my son dont learn what he suppose to be learning like the kids in other schools...i spend extra time with him doing extra work with spelling words, sentences, etc. my daughters are in 4th n 5th they doing good, making progress..

This is my child's second year at Ryder Elementary and, she is currently in her Kindergarden year. She is highly enthusiastic about the atmosphere which keeps my totally preoccupied knowing that she is in a safe and nurturing environment. I cannot say that I have any negative responses thus far to the school except, the fact that I do not feel that they enforce the uniform(ed) dress code enough. My child generally wears her uniform but, till recently, she has been requesting to wear plain clothing throughout the week. -Ryder Elementary great faculty excellent academic agenda. Thank you for your efforts with my child.

Ryder Elementary school lacks discpline and order. After school the students are not under control when being picked up, which causes confusion. My daughter is going into the 2nd grade, this will be her 3rd year attending the school and because she is in the gifted program, she has been sheltered from the nonsense. My heart goes out to the other children in the school because it seems as if the teachers don't really care about the students. I put my nephew in that school for a year and he was misbehaving and they dealt with the situation very unruly. They did not try to resolve it with me at all. I had to pull him out. School needs a better sense of discipline and order...

The school itself is okay. it shoulb be organized a little better. And some of the teachers could make a better effort to get in contact with the parents better if the child is having any type of problems in the school.

As a parent of P.S. 114. I am very happy that my daughter is a student at this school. She has been blessed with very good, caring and intelligent teachers,who exposes them to the entire world of knowledge, she knows quite a few of the teachers and administrative staff and as an 8 year old, she has very good comments for them. She also said while the previous principals have been nice people the current principal Ms. Pennahererra, is superb. The principal came to them and asked what subjects they will like to have at the school, and based on her and her classmates answers, the principal was able to give them just what they asked for, and getting it did not take very long. So based on my careful examination, and my 8 year old's day to day experience, I have no doubt that P.S. 114, is a terrific school.
