My daughter attended PS 70 for Kindergarten and 1st Grade and I can tell you that the school is grossly overcrowded. The school aides cannot keep their eyes on all the children during reecess and as a result children are hurt - by accident or in fights - every single day. The principal appears to have an open door policy but simply does so to pacify a parent an often seems to have her own agenda. My major objection is that they mix non-english speaking students with english speaking students and expect the children to teach each other the language. As a result, my child was not learning to her potential. Myhusband and I both attended PS 70 as children and were thrilled to be able to have our daughter attend until we realized things certainly have changed!
I am now a 8th grader .When i was in this school it made me feel like home i loved it. The teachers work hard to teach the students, also the staff are great. It is a safe environment. I RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL!!!! e
I love PS 70 because the school staff and the community are 100% dedicated to the children!
I have a child in Pre-K. I have been most impressed by the openness of the school's staff to help get new parents acclimated to the environment.
My daughter went to PS 70 and had the best experience and the best teachers. A great school for our neighborhood.
PS 70's dedicated staff does a great job of engaging and inspiring the students.
good school & good teachers.
This school gets an A+ from our family, My daughter is entering 4th grade and has been there since Kindergarden, before moving to the city my parents dreaded me enrolling my daughter into the'New Yorks City Public School system' We interveiwed dozens of expensive private schools. This school toped any of those schools. It has a happy medium of teachers that go the extra mile, an involved principle, and staff & medium # of students per class- about 18/22. Very family oriented, I cannot say enough about this school!!
