P.S. 221 Tossaint L'Ouverture

P.S. 221 is a great school, you feel very welcome from the first day you step foot into the school. I can say this because that is the way I felt when my children attended the school and I still have the same feeling today. My nephew goes there now and the atmosphere is still the same. Go to 221.

My nine year old son has been having a really hard time at this school due to student and teacher bullying. He loves school but due to recent incidents, he does not want to go to school. I have spoken to the principal several times to have him removed from th current class to avoid my child from being bullied. This change has not taken place as yet. The teacher is very unprofessional and believes the words of fellow students above the word of my son.
