P.S. 63 Old South

I was very happy when my older children attended this school. However, there is a new principal and things don't seem the same. The teachers all seem very unhappy and this has to affect the students. I am afraid it is not the great place it used to be.

as a parent you always want what's best for your children. I had my daughter in private school for kindergaten, she was not doing good at all, so we decided to put her in p.s 63 for first grade and it was the best thing we did. She learn so fast with the help of her first grade teacher miss. Rottino. Miss Rottino helped my daughter in a way that only a confident teacher would help a child who need that extra time to learnd her shapes,colors even to read at her age level. Im so greatfull for what miss Rottino did with my dauther. Now i have my other two children attending p.s 63. Is the best school ever!

I was a student of this school back in the late 80"s until graduation. I must say, when you go back to your school and still see teachers that were there when you were knee high to a grass hopper, it makes you feel good. Take it from me, you will always remember your K-6 grade teachers. After all, those are the years where you first start to learn about life and what numbers and letters mean. I still remember methods of doing math that Mrs. Lombardo and Mrs. Feta taught me. To make a long story short, P.S. 63 is one of the best schools within the city of New York and I highly recommend it for you and your family. Get Involved! The area has changed thanks to our government, but that won't change the quality of education your child will receive.

I absolutely love this school. I couldnt have asked for a better elementary school for my son. He is learning things that I dont remember learning at his age. He has teachers (especially) this year that truly cares. I am so happy my son is going to PS 63 I will be very upset when he has to graduate in 5th Grade. The test grade results are so high for that school. On top of everything, he has been playing an instrument since 2nd grade.

My children go to this school its a great school because the teachers are very involve with the students... But there is one thing I do not like is the saftey once a parent picking up their children before school is over the office dose not ask for Identification to realese the child and thats a big concern anyone after they signing the paper & passing the security guard can wonder around in the school its not safe !!! Its something us parents should talk about with the P.T.A but other than that large concern its pretty good to have teachers that are caring and understanding =)

ok first you are not a teacher.....if you were you should been have able to write a short understandable statement.If you are a teacher then I think that you have more things to worry about then parents working with their children.What grade do you teach ??? All the teachers that i have come in contact at p.s.63q have been wonderful,and find ways to work with all the kids so that it isn't just learning but also enjoyable at the same time.

As a teacher, I would love to work this inmy class that aprreciate what is being taught. It's not time for a social hour. The parents have been saying on thing and then not helping out their children at all. But then we get blamed at the teachers.
