This is the worst elementary public school in NYC. I gave them a star because I have to select a star on here but they don't deserve any star. I work here and see the injustice within the staff and against the children. Parents I urge you not to enroll you kids here at p.s. 128. They treat your kid badly when you're not here.

My daughter attended this school for six years K-5. She loved everything it had to offer. The teachers are very caring and taught her well. As we look back into her experiences at P.S.128, there is nothing she would have changed. This school prepared my daughter for middle school. I would advice parents to be involved, P.S.128 has a lot to offer. Invest your time and effort, because it is all worth it. A special thanks to Mr. Diaz, her 3rd grade teacher, and an amazing educator.

My son is currently in the fifth grade. His teacher has his class doing all sorts of projects. The projects even include power point presentation. My son is challeneged academically everyday and his teacher Mr. Rodriguez deserves a pat on his back for getting these children on their feet and ready to learn new exciting things each day.

This is a great school. The facilities are very convenient, clean and comfortable. The environment is apropriate for the children; they have lots of activities and they enjoy studying. Most of the students use their uniforms. Parents keep updated about their children's work and the school is always trying to work with parents in improving kids' results. My son and I came from Colombia one year ago, and he has improved his English and obtained excellent grades during this year. The parents resource center makes interesting meetings and helps and informs parents about topics such as education, health, school activities, etc.

Ms.Battino (prinicipal) is wonderful. It is obvious that she cares for her students. One of the things about her that I first noticed is that at dismissal time, she is out with the children, offering kisses and conversation to the children and parents. I believe that a school is highly judged on the principal and I believe she is doing a great job. Keep up the good work Ms Battino, your efforts are not gone unnoticed!

About the tests


In 2011-2012 New York used the New York State Assessments to test students in grades 3 through 8 in English language arts and math, and in grades 4 and 8 in science. The results for English language arts and math are displayed on GreatSchools profiles and the science results will be added when they are released in the Fall of 2013. The tests are standards-based, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of New York. The goal is for 90% of students to meet or exceed grade-level standards on the tests.
