I think the school has a good PTA, and a good staff in spite of the administration. The principal and some of the assistant principals do not belong there. The school still ranks a "C." This would not have occurred with the former principal, Mrs. C.

Boy do miss this school i went here form 2000-2004 before i moved to Virginia to finish my 5th grade year I DO MISS THIS SCHOOL. one thing i do miss is the chorus mr.B was an amazing teacher and even today seeing the current kids come out from the Adele commercial to singing for artist and singer he such an amazing teacher.

OLPH provides top notch quality private school education for over one hundred years at an extremely affordable cost. All are welcomed here. It is a close knit school that provides cutting edge technology, language programs, strong academics and unique after school programs to truly tap into a child's potential. The faculty and parents are amazing and are the key ingredients to its success.

Both of my kids went to this school for pre-k and WE LOVED IT! The school is a safe, happy place. The teachers are all approachable and friendly, as are the secretaries and principal. Both my kids adore the pre-K teachers. We only left because we are zoned for another school and got into 22's pre-K by lottery.

What I love most about P.S. 22 are the teachers and administrators, they know each child by name and let each of them feel as if 22 is a family not a cold building with kids.

security is very tight in this school which gives me a peace of mind that my child is safe at all times.

My rating on this school is a 7. I love the school and so does my kindergardener. She has Ms Paribello and she loves her. I like her as well. My daughter is doing very well in her class and she loves going to school everyday. Some of the teachers need to dress more proffesional and not like they just rolled out of bed. That is my only issue so far with the school.

I now have two children attending PS 22. There is such a difference in their abilities to learn one is well advanced and the other is in need of assistance. While the social environ ment is excellent academics needs improvement. There needs to be a separate class for the gifted and additional help for the remedial.

My kids and me were part of this great school for 4 yrs. They loved every minute of school and the teachers are best. My son was reading midway thru grade K ! What an amazing feat and now his way of killing time is to read. Kudos to Ms. Constantino n the wonderful staff n teachers. Go Tigers!

My children have been a part of ps 22 family for more than 10 years. The faculty has always been very nice and helpful. The school and grounds are always well kept by the maintenance dept. The security guards love the students. Mrs. Constantino and the rest of the staff always look professional while maintaining an orderly yet fun environment for the children. I will miss the school after my son graduates in June.

My child is new to the school. However, I have heard nothing but really positive things about the teachers, principle and students.

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.
