Excellent teachers in this school. My children have been very fortunate and have had a great experience so far. Too bad the Administration isn't as wonderful as the teachers are. Any time I have dealt with them they are rude and dismissive. It's a shame because the principal is starting to bring the school down.
What an excellent school! Both my children attended the school for the past 5 years. Mrs Beck is awesome! Such caring and competent staff. My children thrive in this wonderful school!
My children are doing great at PS 32. They have wonderful teachers that treat my children like their own. The Music dept is wonderful. It has given my daughter such confidence in all areas.
I think P.S. 32 is a good school my kids do very well there.Most of the teachers are very nice and helpful.
I love P.S. 32 because it is a fun and friendly learning environment for my daughter. The teachers are dedicated and loving toward the children. They make learning fun!
teachers are very nice and friendly,always getting a feed back about progress of my child. Very good science and music programs.
I think the staff does a great job with the students. We love how they help the children where the help is required. I'm happy our son attends such a great school.
My husband and I love the teachers. However, we are very dissatisfied with the supervisors. They have a wonderful science program.
The teachers and administration at P.S. 32 are extraordinary. Helpful, caring and always putting our children first.
My children attend the school and we are impressed by the quality of education they are receiving from fantastic teachers. I am always informed of my children's progress and activities occurring in the school.
The school encourages getting parents in participating with various school activities throughout the year and parents are always welcomed.
