This is a good school because they really care about the children. They help them to strive for greatness with awarding them for being student of the month and are very informative when it come to state test and different events. The school and the grounds are well maintained.

This school improved. When my older child used to attend here, the school wasn't as well as it is now. The Standerized State Test Scores have improved, the extracurricular activities have improved, with a great variety for elementary children. All teachers are dedicated and care about where your child will be going for middle school. I couldn't ask for anything better than 135!

I love this school. It was an experience of a lifetime, with many options. My children always walked out of school with a smile. In 5th grade, a few kids start to think that he/she is all that and start to make fun of kids, classes in whole, but all matters are immediatley handled and I love that. This school is safe, and a happy place to be. Highly reccommended.

This school has improved greatly and is one of the best schools I think there are in New York City for elemantry! The staff is so dedicated and so are the teachers. They work hard to make sure students get the best and only the best. 4th and 5th get to participate in Dancing Classrooms. There are many amazing programs after school such as Drama, Dance, Band, and a small Haitian Club. There is a huge choice avaliable for middle schools. You don't face alot of peer pressure and its just an extraordinary school in the whole. We get to take trips to Camp Broadway, JIB Lanes and we got junk food, and even baseball games. The kids are so friendly. You can make a friend in a minute! The graduation ceremony is also outstanding at a church and their is also a senior dance and a yearbook. I love 135!!!!!!!

This school is a very good elementary school. I think it needs some new 5th grade teachers. Many of the 5th grade teachers are amazing and others are tired and put alot of pressure on the kids. Some of the 5th grade teachers I like, others I dislike. They need some new ones. Overall, this school is okay. The activites are great and the cooperation is good. I'd give it a b plus right away!

This school has a safe and caring environment. Students use the programs Everyday Mathematics Online and Renzulli Learning. Renzulli is probably the best expericence I ever had. I got to do the things I love all through the year and still do everything else. I would like to thank the world's best teacher's- Mrs.Kohl, Ms.Gabrielsen, Ms.Duncan, Ms. Cruz-Lopez, and Ms.Lachman. They really are woking hard and students are showing progress. This is the best school ever. Ms.Nelson is also amazing. She is serious and funny which helps drive interest in subjects. I am graduating this year. I will truly miss this school more than any other. The middle school options are amazng. So are the extra activities. The principal made the kids write to soldiers each year. He is excellent. There are no discipline problem students in the school. Parent get involved all the time, whether to help classes or PTA.

This school has mostly a popualtion of Guyanese, Filipino, and Indian. If you consider your children hanging around a majority of these type of kids, this school is for you. There is a black american club to allow black students who come from different countries such as Haiti to stick together and learn English together, just to give foreign children a little warm welcome. They do international dancing (which I loved!) Ms.D, the dance teacher was awsome. We did Indian dancing,hip hop, and others and had so much fun. This year, we are working on the play of The Little Mermaid. The boys in the class are doing band and the kids in chorus are going to take a trip to a hospital and sing a Christmas welcome to sick people. I think that is just charming. Graduating students have huge oppurtunities for middle schools. such as Scholar's Academy.

This is school is excellent. Please believe this comment only. The teachers are caring. They have afterschool programs for drama,dance, and band. These programs are free! They also have a Black American club. Last year, me and my best friend got to sing in a school competition since we are apart of the chorus, and PS.135Q got gold! Also, in grades 4 and 5, students get to learn a choice of language (Russian, Greek, or Spanish.) These clubs are also free. They also prepare you for middle school by giving strict homework and uniform rules, detention, and switching of teachers rules in the 5th grade. They had the program of Dancing Classrooms come to the school for grades 4 and 5. It was a wonderful experience that helped teach the students respect. For the senior year, 5th graders had a senior dance, a yearbook, and a beautiful graduation ceremony.
