Paideia School 15

My 7 year old has attended Paideia School 15 for 3 years now. I think the teachers that she has had for the past 3 years have all been amazing. The parents work together so well and support the school 100%, the PTA is very hard working and the Principal is doing everything he can to elevate test scores. The teachers and aides are wonderful! I could not be any happier with my decision to send my children to Paideia School 15!

This is an excellent school for all kids. The teachers are great in the older grades, but not that good in the lower grades. The teachers (in lower grades) there are useless and have there favorite, so useless you are a favorite you won't get much attention. However, the teachers in the older grades are wonderful and help students with every need. The principal of the school tries to get the kids excited, but does a bad job doing so.

My daughter just entered Paideia School 15 this year in their Pre-kindergarten program. I was very nervous about sending her into a big school, by herself for the first time. I was quickly put at ease by the amazing teachers and staff at the school. I have been very impressed with the projects that have come home and all of the programs my daughter has been exposed to at such a young age. She is counting to 100, knows all of her letters, is starting to spell and socially has blossomed. The principal of the school is at the door greeting the children each morning. She is making sure hats are removed and the children are orderly. She is at every event. I think that it is extremely important for the school to have a visible leader and she is doing a wonderful job. The classrooms and grounds are well maintained.

I love the school. My son is a spacial ed class and he is getting all the help he needs.

We love Paideia School 15 because of its nurturing environment set by its principal, Ms. Leslie Hamilton and its caring teachers.

My name is Tabitha J. Colon-Jr. I currently attend 15 but i'm will be graduating next week (June 24)my class are the first 8th grade grauating class. I've been in this school since pre-k. I've seen many principals come and go and all I can say is this school is amazing. The only thing that i didnt like is that since there are middle school kids and elementary children in the same buiding the 6-8 had to also be treated like elementary children, which i don't find cool. But as long as you had you're education you are all good. I would recommend this school anybody.

Teaching to the test does not make our children the human beings that we want for tomorrow. Administration is extremely poor at this school. PTA - God bless them, they do work hard. Students - everything is selective at this school. A lot of room for improvement.

Parents, teachers and administration are committed to making this school work. There is much rumbling about Yonkers schools, but so far, my experience of this school is a positive one--from the top down. My child is learning, thriving, and most importantly, happy and well-adjusted here. So much comes back to us, the parents. Our passion and persistence help keep things moving forward. The administration in this building is working positively, in tandem with parents. The school is a clean, bright, and new building. There is every possibility here--much of which is now being realized. And what isn't here yet...is just around the corner. Yes, test scores need improvement. I am convinced the new principal will help them rise--steadily. With the addition of an eighth grade next year, I know there will be bumps, BUT in the end, there is so much here. I am glad to be a part of it.

I've never met a more dedicated staff whose interests lie with the advancement of the children. I'm not saying 15 is the best...our test scores are not the best. We do work hard to help the kids to reach their potential and that is what parents should look for when choosing a school...compassion, integrity, leadership, and a staff that takes a concerted interest in your child.

My sister is a student at Paideia 15 and she has done better in this school then all of my other sibiling have done in catholic schools. It gave her the help she needed in speech. She overall loves this school. All of her teachers were terrific and extremely understanding.
