My daughter attend to dual language program and she loves her teachers. She enjoys going school, and learning very well. There are many good teachers there but it is true that there are some teachers who does not seem qualified. Some of the office staff are very rude and speak with no courtesy to the parents or visitors (I often want to cover my daughters ears.) It is unfortunate to have these people who destroy the reputation of other great teacher's hard work. It seems former principal, Mrs. Janet Farrell did not care those too much. I hope new Principal I.A., Mrs Geller will act quickly for change and hire appropriate teachers and office staff. Like Reply

I've never seen someone so rude, mean and arrogant people in my entire life like these people. some teachers are so messed up that they make the parents are cry. I have tell some names for the sake of the children this teacher ms. herring she is the most rude person in the world. i dont know how could people behave this rudely with kindergarten childrens. i wish i could find proper authority to make complaint about them.

My daughter has been going to p.S 166 since kindergarten. Now she's in the 4th grade. Her average is exceptional. I love that all the teachers,welcomed her with open arms even when she was a tough cookie in the beginning. I love that all the teachers embrace the student as if they were their own. And when you have a staff with those credentials your child will grasp the learning experience on a higher level.
