GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
The parents are very much involved in day to day activity. The PTA is constantly motivating everyone in school and in our neighborhood to be involved with educating our kids inside and outside of school.
Small classroom sizes, dedicated teachers who work with parents. Strong PTA and a principal who is in touch with the students and strives to do the best for PS 1 year after year.
ps 1 is a great school the staff goes above and beyond we get no help from the city because of the area we live in they think people with big houses have money but they dont please help our school win
What I love about P.S. 1 is personal touch the teachers give to the children. When my children come home from school I asked them in detail about their day at school. I like what I hear. From listening to my children I know the teachers at P.S. 1 really care about their students.
P.S. 1 is a wonderful, small school with highly skilled teachers and great support staff. It is a real community school, everything is done for the children. I feel good knowing my children are happy and thriving in such a nurturing environment.
I love PS 1 because I have 3 nieces that attend PS 1 and they are doing so well academically and it is because of the education and care they are receiving from PS 1. At the end of summer they are not upset that school is beginning, they can not wait to start. Thank you PS 1
PS1 is more than a school - it is a nurturing community of competent and compassionate professionals who exceed at their vocations every single day. The entire staff and PTA of the Tottenville school are extremely dedicated to the education and general well-being of the students. The school has a spirit of mutual respect and cooperation among the staff, students and parents. I feel very fortunate that my daughters belong to the PS1 family. Together we learn, together we grow....
I love that parents and teachers seem to really care about the school, it's education ratings, and how it affects its students.
It's a small school where all the teachers and faculty know everyone. My three children went there and had a wonderful experience and did very well education wise. That's why I'm voting for P.S.1
Very nice school,every one has high expectation,all teachers are doing there best to teach our children,the only thing we need a better indoor gym so the kids can renew there energy of thinking during the day.
One of the better schools on SI. My fourth child is going to pre-school there. I wish I could be more involved to help out.
