P.S. 45 Clarence Witherspoon

P.S 45 had a wonderful Winter Concert I really enjoyed the music selection, and most of all the 5 grade dancers. It was so adorable to see children as young as them performing the Waltz, Foxtrot, the Tango, and etcetera. The school has improved a great deal in the last year.

I think more parent participation, better student behavior and more caring and sincerity on the part of the principal could improve this school.

My son and daughter go to PS 45 and I think the rating given to this school is to low. There are great teachers doing great things at PS 45. PS 45's principal, Ms. Terrel, who changed that cleaned house and change our school around. Ms. Terrel with the help of teachers and staff took PS 45 from a SURR school to one of the most competitive Queens public schools. Our math scores in our testing grades, this includes special education students, were among one of the highest. We have pre-school to six grade with small class sizes and hard working teachers who care. I really think GreatSchools needs to update there rating.

I love this school. It is just so warm and caring. The teachers are very excellent with the students and everyone cares so much. I had two boys in kindergarten and first grades and they loved the teachers there. I would recommend this school to anyone who is looking for a really great school for their children. The homework that they get challenges their little minds. I recently moved out to Washington state and they are way behind. My boys are now in the first grade out here and they are reading on a second grade level.
