I am a student of the school. The school is safe and I love the teachers, counselors, and staffs. This school is the best and is like a second home.
I am one of the students in Ms.131. I love this school so much, i don't even want to leave. Some of the things that I like about this school, is the help, and attention the teacher gives to a student. When you don't understand something, they will help you right away, and they will make sure you understand the concepts. Plus, this school is very,very safe.
This school Has very good technology. Everyone has a laptop to use in every subject class. And this school challenges the students that goes here, and will help there future.
Excellent technology, and nice after school activities. My daughter had bonded with the school and she's loving this school.
My son had always been a delinquent. I am a single parent and I never had much time to teach him to respect. I admit I am an awful mother but after my son got into this school he totally changed. He was making so much progress due to the help of the caring and concerned teachers in this school. I was honestly surprised at how much it'll totally change my son. He now is a mature young adult who is excellent in academics who knows how to respect. I really love this school and love how it affected my son. GO MS 131!!!
This school is amazing, I was a graduate from this school now currently working as a lawyer. Go to this school. You surely won't regret it.
Very safe environment, there are no fights and no gangs. It's an excellent place where students can focus on studying and make progress in academics.
I graduated from this school. It's a safe school and everyone is very respectful to each other and everything is just amazing in this school. I love the teachers, staffs, and counselors in this school.
The teachers here are very helpful to my son. My son had never been good in the subject math. After the teacher notices he notified me and asked me if my son can stay after school every wednesday and he'll help him in math. I had never seen such a caring teacher like him before. My son made a lot of progress as the teacher was willing to stay after school despite his busy schedule he was delighted to help for no charge. MS 131 sure is a great school.
I have been working in this school for 7 years. The students and my peers are very friendly and respectful to me. The principal is a very nice woman who hopes the best for the students and try to help them in every way she can.
Marvelous school with excellent students and teachers. Ms. Tam is an excellent principal and Ms. Hernandez and Ms. Abadia are amazing counselors. My daughter graduated from this school and now I'm sending my son to this school. I love MS 131
I never thought this school would have been so influential to my daughter, she's now taking dance in school and I have realized she have talent because I am constantly working. She really enjoyed going to this school, I know my daughter is in safe hands of this school and the teachers and students around her.
I graduated from this school and I have send my kids to this school too. I love this school and my kids said they enjoyed it too. MS 131 for the win.
This middle school is fantastic! The outstanding teachers, the friends, and the after school activities. Could not imagine my daughter being anywhere else. She is excited about learning. Homework is challenging and engaging. The school is academically competitive, and it really focuses on preparing to be accepted to the best high schools. Great environment, energetic teaching, and energetic student body. Love it!
I school is fantastic after my son came to this school he was looking forward to learn each and every day. What a positive influence the teachers and counselors were. Love it.
Brilliant school. Ms. Tam is an honorable principal that should be respected. She tries to do her best for the school and is very caring and understanding to students.
