THIS SCHOOL IS ONE OF THE BEST AROUND BUSHWICK. THE TEACHERS ARE CARING, AND THE SCHOOL NEEDS A LITTLE MORE MONEY SO THEY CAN GET MORE PROGRAMS OTHER THAN BASKETBALL, AND BAND.


Posted October 29, 2010

My niece has gone to P.S. 384 since Kindergarten and she is now in the 4th grade. While her reading skills are excellent her math could be a greater focus however it is not. There is a high percentage of ESL students that attend 384 therefore the push to have them read/write/understand English well shows in all classes. My niece has been in the "top" class since she entered the school and that is the only reason we have kept her here. The lower level classes do not cover all necessary material for her to be ready for another school later on down the line. Also, I work at a charter school where students and parents have the teachers cell phone number and there are many family oriented events on the evening and weekends. P.S. 384 doesn't seem to have any of that. It is very hard to reach a teacher

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.
