P.S. 254 Dag Hammarskjold

My daughter went to this school, she is now 16 years old and she believes this school was one of the best things that could have happened to her. It had such a good environment, vibe, and focus to its students, that she feels could not have started her academic life off better anywhere else. This school set her off with a wonderful foundation in computer skills, health, art, and music, along with great knowledge in core subjects such as English, Math, Science, and Social Studies. I can say that in today's world America's education is not too impressive and that the teachers in most schools are not qualified, but when my kids went here they were very intelligent with genuine interest for learning in the fun and caring environment they were in. I hope that this school only remains excellent and I wish to assist them in any help they may ever need in the future.

This school is parents unfriendly. Classes are big (30 children per one teacher) and Ms. Moser & Mrs. Alohonte don't allow parents to volunteer to help teacher. I feel like they have something to hide from parents.

This school is better then some of the other school in the area. As far as the teachers, as in any school, some are good and others not so much. In my opinion, there is way too much HW for K and 1st graders, especially in the gifted and talented program and if you work full time, be prepared to stay up late with your child! Personally, I consider Mrs. Borgia to be one of THE best teachers in school (she teaches K level class). So, if you can get her as a teacher, your child's school experience for that year would be positively memorable.

I have a daughter which went to Pre-K and her teachers were very respectful and kind towards the children and their parents. The parent coordinator is fabulous! She dedicates her time and patience to help parents with concerns. The negative part was that Pre-K didn't have any homework.

My daughter is in grade K in PS 254. It is just as good as when I went there. The teacher is very kind to the students and I always feel welcome in the building. The PA is very active and tries to get everyone involved. I'm pleased with the education my daughter is getting and I can't wait to enroll my son in their pre-k program.

Even though this school is still one of the best in Brooklyn it has drastically changed. Parents are not made to feel welcome in this school any longer. There is no warmth to this school as there used to be, teachers don't seem happy and some of the rules are ridiculous. The eagle program is not what it used to be, it seems to have gotten lost in the new curriculm. Time for some serious changes in this school.

This is a very good school. It's not big in size and a lot of attention is paid to the children. It's Eagle program is not what it used to be.
