My daughter just finished the Kindergarten Eagle program at the Annex and she loved it. Her teacher, Ms. Hecker, is very involved, attentive and nurturing. I would like more activities for our Kindergartners and 1st graders or an after-school program (like a beginners dance, music or art class.) I have and will continue to recommend this school. I would also encourage more parents to test their children for the Eagle program.

I can honestly say that these were the best years of my life! I'm a senior in my school. The teachers & staff are really good at keeping touch with the parents! There is a lot of activites for students. Approximately in the middle of october we get to apply for different after school programs including chorus, band, drums, chess, hispanic cultrue, dance, yearbook and drama. I am in the chorus and Ican honestly say that it is very fun there! This school as I like to say,always takes it to the next level. Sure we have summer school and after school, but we also have morning program and saturday program as well for the kids in big need of help. Compared to other schools we have a lot of money. We usually use the money for more materials and more activites for kids. Just this year we added a

Hello, my niece attends PS 152, She is in class 231 Eagle. I think this is a great school. Her teacher Ms. Romeo is an excellent teacher, I just found out that my niece already she is reading above her class level which is great. I would recommend this school to any parent who is considering it for their children.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 New York used the New York State Assessments to test students in grades 3 through 8 in English language arts and math, and in grades 4 and 8 in science. The results for English language arts and math are displayed on GreatSchools profiles and the science results will be added when they are released in the Fall of 2013. The tests are standards-based, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of New York. The goal is for 90% of students to meet or exceed grade-level standards on the tests.
