I have worked at PS52 for 18 years, and have always thought that the teachers in the school were dedicated, hardworking, caring people. We have worked under the best of conditions, and the worst of conditions, and still came to work everyday with smiles on our faces, ready to give our best to the wonderful little boys & girls who enter our classrooms everyday. We are a PS 52 family!
The staff is dedicated, educated, creative and caring. The princiapl is intelligent, fair, and "all for the children". The parents welcome the breath of fresh air. The school reaches for the stars!
P.S. 52 is a wonderful place to work. Great environment, great employees, great students and a really great principal.
PS 52 offers a safe place for children to learn to the best of their abilities. The teachers are caring,patient and inventive. They not only made a difference in my children's lives, but in mine as well. The school offers great programs and I know my children love learning. Chess, sign language...the Arts, Literacy, Math, Science, Social Studies....my children can't make up their mind which is their favorite!
i love ps 52 because they are wonderful, with special needs children and have many programs to help our chuldren grow and learn
My kids love their school! They have great teachers, and staff, and there is wonderful parent involvement.
I gave the school a 3 because they have poor administration. However ,the teachers and the IEP therapists are great. The school is clean, friendly and inviting. If they replace administrative staff it would be the best school on the Island. School staff need better leadership and they are not getting it. I have noted more than a few times unpleasant tones from adinistrative staff and others when speaking to the children.
Mu daughter gradualted from this schoolin 2008 and now my son goes here i am so lucky to be surounded around great teachers and the principal really cares for these kids.
Great school. Though not our zoned school, I sent my 2 daughters there using the choice program. Would recommend to anyone.
