My son just finished his 1st grade. When he enrolled into kinder, he was a student know nothing about alphabet and cannot write anything. This summer he is finishting his 1st grade with reading level of "N". Because I am forcusing ore on teaching foreign langauge at home ( First langauge for me and my son I think) I did not spend any time to teach English other than have him finish homeowork. So, I can say all his progress is purely teacher's effort for K and 1st grade. Thjanks so much!

My son went to PS116 for K and First. We loved it!!! He is starting 5th in the Fall and we still miss PS116 it was a fantastic experience living in NYC. Their academic curriculum was diverse; chess, music and dance were specials that not all school offer. Their afterschool program (run by the PTA) was exceptional and affordable. Science, Chess and Tada were our favorites. I also liked that it's a 5 story building, children will get daily exercise as the science lab, dance studio and music room were on the fifth floor. An excellent city public school, far superior to some private schools.

I am a very old student of Ps116, though it has been 6 years I have left PS116, I still remember every time spent there. Enjoying with friends and the great education provided. My teachers were very delighted with my work and I found myself lucky to have them. I appreciate the fact that i was once part of Mary Lindley Murray School, and as a proud student, I would recommend this school to every parent, for its well known education.

Positive: 1. All kids can have more fun classes after school; 2. All teachers are nice, never rude to students; 3. All teachers love children and treat them great; 4. All children have homework everyday; 5. Kids like to go to school everyday; 6. All teachers always encourage kids to learn more things, and praise kinds when they do good job. Negative: 1. The kids don't really like the lunch;

Now that my daughter has been out of PS 116 for almost two years I look back on her time of learning there as a wonderful experience. Sometimes it takes that distance to really understand how well they prepared her for middle school.I believe she is excelling in science because of the spark they ignited at 116

I love this school. It has such a sense of community. My son goes off happy every day. He is learning so much. The teachers and staff are wonderful. The curriculum is challenging. I couldn't ask for a better environment for my child. PS 116 is the best!
