Holy Trinity has accomplished great success over the past 2 years given the continious challenges,changes in administration and poor parent participation.Many students including my daughter graduated and is now attending atop high school in queens as well as many others.Staff dedication ,great academic curriculum as well as extra curricular activities ,htlcs has the right combination for academic success and of course the two best teachers in queens mr mclean and ms joseph.

Yes, teacher and administration turn over is high and that is partly due to the low pay and in a few cases poor teaching. The tuition compared to various schools I have reviewed is relatively low, and the classes are quite small. I send my child to the school for academics and I feel that the teachers do a great job with what they have? Last year the school had a basketball team, step team, gospel choir, and a cheerleading squad. None of which we the parents had to put out any money. Yes, the teachers are very pleasant and there are good teachers beyond grade K. The new administration had to come into a position where students, parents, and teachers basically did whatever they wanted, and the new administration will not tolerate it, and many parents don't like being held accountable. Get over yourselves. HTLCS is a very good.

The academic programs are very poor. There is no good reason to send your child to this school unless he/she is in Pre-K or K, which have great teachers this year. My child will not continue at this school. The administration is very unpleasant and uncooperative, even when it comes to safety issues. I would not recommend this school.

The academic curriculum is poor.My child is in 3rd grade now and the teacher doesnot have the necessary supplies to prepare the lessons properly. Turnover of teachers and administration is high, which in turn reflects on the decreasing quality of the academic programs. The school at present doesnot have a music or computer teacher and there are no extracurricular activities for the children to engage in at this time. The teaching staff who are on hand are very pleasant but the current administraton leadership is poor.
