P.S. 164 Queens Valley

This school has become worse over the past few years. While some teachers seem to care at this school. Some clearly do not have the students best interest at heart. I believe the Principal either chooses not to see or does not care. The parent coordinator is not communicative with the parents at all this intern has basically wiped out the P.T.A. There are almost no Afterschool programs in this school. No chance for kids to get involved except for the dwindling arts program which is cut more and more every year.I have been a parent at this school for the past 6 years and it's very sadf to see this happen. How can we change this pattern? I feel that our concerns fall on deaf ears and in the end the children suffer.

the principal and parent coordinator have a poor relationship with parents. They are not very helpful. Unfortunately this leads to parents not participating in school activities and not participating in the parents association.

Very friendly staff. Clean classrooms. Nice and quiet area. Pretty small school but still have 8 grades.

i would like to give this school a three star rating. there are very little or no afterschool programs. discipline is good but with the bigger grades added to the school the environment of the school has changed from excelent to fair.

The sixth grade stops teaching after the mandated testing is given [in] the spring. Our children lose out on 2 months of instruction.
