The Seeall Academy

some of the teachers are awesome, and some are terrible. the french teacher in my classes yells at us for no reason and has favorites D: and gives them higher grades. also, they need to stop being so strict on certain schoolwork. but its developed alot in the past 3 years...somewhat. i am now a seinor here. i hate this dump. i cant wait to get the heck out.

My child suffered here in every way possible! Academically, socially and emotionally. The teachers are awful and the administration is even worse! My suspicions and concerns were further validated by the media exposure of the administrations unethical and illegal behavior. Do your research!

An awful place to send your child to school The administration is nuts and thinks these are upper east side kids. He is very out of touch with the kids and their parents.The teachers run the school which would ntobe bad accepr they are lazy and nasty to the kids. That school needs an overhaul. Very said and can't wait for myson to get out. He is not prepared for HS but any place will be an improvment to this place.

My child was accepted to the superintendent's program at the Seeall Academy in September of 2010. He enjoys going to school everyday. I think this school provides a very nurturing environment. This school is underdeveloped in its academic expectations of its students especially in the superintendent's program. I think my child was challenged more in his grammar school. The principal definitely has a great vision for this school but it is obviously still in the developing stages.

I am a parent at this school, and honestly, im really disappointed in this school. It's really crowded, the deans are very strick. The teachers are mean, and don't care about what you have to say. The principle is really bad. My daughter hates this school so much. She wants to leave it as soon as possible. After 5th grade, I am absolutely transferring her to another school.

My wife and I are very disappointed in this school. We expected so much more from the superintendents program, none of which has come to fruition. None of the enrichment which was initially presented has been offered. Some of the administrators are very aloof and just use charm to disarm very significant concerns. In addition, the school appears not to handle discipline issues appropriately. Students are often treated in a very harsh manner, especially 6th graders who need a nurturing, yet concrete approach in order to make effective transitions. It's too bad really, because there are some caring teachers, but a detached administration keeps them at bay. The principal needs to get in touch with reality, shed his narcissism and limit the authority of certain AP's who serve no real function in the school. Such high hopes, such a huge let down!

My child has attended P.S.180 since Pre-K. While being in this school, my child attends the elementary division. The school is based on the SEEALL program, Students Educationally Enriched as Learning Leaders. Since my child's enrollment the computer lab, library, art room, and gym has been off limits, due to the Middle school population and the fact that there is no space. The elementary school students should have the same opportunities as the Middle School students. My child has never worked on a computer, nor taken a book out of the school library since we have been enrolled. The excitement is that the art teacher pushes into the room and there is gym in the lobby. As far as learning in the classroom, my child receives a warm welcome and a full day of academic instruction. If the school wants all the Students Educationally Enriched as Learning Leaders then they must give them every opportunity to expand their skills in all areas including foremost technology in order to prepare for the 21st century.

I love PS 180 because my daughter had no transition problems when she switched schools. The teachers and faculty make the students feel welcome and special. She was happy from day one and I cn't wait for my son to start there.

This school looks good, and the principal is one classy guy but the teachers in the IS 180 part are really incompetent. My older son went to IS 187 and my younger daughteris i MArk Twain. My son does nothing in this school except play sports. He learned nothing in the 3 jhs years he was here. If you want your kid to play sports,, thisis the school foryou other wise choose another school. I am very disappointed. I cant wait fro my son to graduate and get out of there. All show and nothing else.
