i use to attend this school and it has changed alot over the years when i first being my journey in this school i was K And i attend all the way to 6th when there was 6th grade i loved the school very much it became like a second home...it is a very small school and has gotten smaller over the years and i see the princnpals have changed also and from what i heard the new lady isn't the best and that the PTA is very small and the school has gotten better i some ways and worse in others...but i must say PS 38 will be in my heart forever

My daughter is currently in kindergarten. She has her favorite teachers just like any other child. I feel that the school is very safe and the staff is very caring. The school has implemented club hour on Fridays. The clubs include Tai Chi, aerobics, guitar, drama, dance, art and a few more. I really like the teachers and the office staff is pleasant. She has learned a great deal this year and always looks forward to the activities and celebrations that the school conducts at least once a month. (ex- bingo night, pajama party, poetry slam, math night and other holiday celebrations)

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.
