P.S. 35 Nathaniel Woodhull

was so worried about my son going to this school for CTT class setting but was pleasantly surprised! Mr. Singh is a very good special Ed. teacher with lots of patience. Mr Ruiz(Science) and Ms. Calucci(SS) are very good too-They make kids enjoy learning! The principal is Amazing! He is always available, always walking hallways and in the lunchroom. He knows everything that's going on in the school, keeps the school neat and clean, and really cares about the well being of his students!! Mr Dempsey is also the Track Coach which was a great experience for my son. My son was only there for 5th grade(1 year) and I wish he was there all his school years!

I would like to commend the principal, Mr. Mark Dempsey for engaging with both the parents and children on a daily basis. He cares about the students and knows their names. We have received a few calls in the school year at home on a Sunday evening from Mr. Dempsey informing us on our child's improvement. We have never heard of a principal that does that. Mr. Demsey goes above and beyond for the children in the community and at P.S. 35. Mr. Dempsey is a wonderful principal. I would highly recommend this school. The teachers are very dedicated to the students excellence.

My husband and I are very pleased with PS 35 in Queens. Our son came from a private school, but we had to place our son in a public school environment, we were very concerned. However, Ms. Gallello, our son's fourth grade teacher, has certainly brought out the best in our son. He is almost one grade above in reading, he scored a 4 in Math and English. Ms. Gallello is very thorough with every child and she distributes a homework sheet every week, so that it's easy for us as parents to check our son's homework on a daily basis. Ms. Gallello is an excellent teacher and she truly cares about every child in her class! She has changed our perception about the public school environment.

I am happy with my kids going to PS 35 Q. There are some great teachers in this school. One of the most outstanding one is Ms. Valte. She has exceeded almost all my standards as what i think a teacher should be. I wish most other teachers can learn from her. Student recongnition (student of the month, and other school wide recognition) system is biased and not transparent. I wish they look into this and make them more transparent.

My child had never been without a family member until she stated going to PS 35 at first I was reluctant to send her but I must say the staff and students there are wonderful. The teachers go beyond the call of duty to help students and the results are found in my child's academic and social improvements.

I've been teaching at P.S. 35 for more than 15 years... the staff is the absolute best.

I wasn't sure what the school would be like and it turned out enrolling my children there was the best decision. Mr. Dempsey and the assistant principal are very hands on and always available. The teachers are wonderful and my children are so happy. They are already reading books and are only in kindergarten. The school is excellent.

My son has been going to P.S 35 for a year now and I love it. His teacher and principle are excellant. Mr. Dempsey looks like he loves his job and he really cares about his students. He even called me personally to let me now how my son was adapting to the school. What other principle would do that? The school also promotes family time and togetherness by holding family nights. I would recommend this school to anyone.
