Ps 84 is a wonderful, excellent school. I like miss giampiccolo very much. The prek program is excellent and i am happy they are extending the grades to 8th grade. I have only positive things to say about this school.
This school focuses too much on academics and scores so the school can benefit financially - perhaps children would enjoy their lengthy days if they had some extra curricular programs outside of the basic learning requirements. i believe if you change an elementary school to a middle school there should be pre-planning as now you are facing all different age groups with different interest and the older childrent need additional activities and do the younger ones. No after school program, no sports, no dance, theatre etc. I feel eventually the younger children will not want to stay in the school throughout their growing years if they don't start to make it a bit interesting.
My child has been going to this school, for the past 2 years. I didnt like what i was hearing from my son, he was telling me that most of the students there act like 'gangsters' and they have no intrest in their school work. I blelieved my son, for example when i was picking him up from school i heard most of the students cursing and talking inpropertly. My son convinced me to enroll him in another school It was the best thing i ever did. But i like the princible mr. Buffa. But i beleive the vice princible is not the kind of role model we should be setting for our children. But in all i blelieve that P.S. 84 deserves a 2 rating.
used to be an excellent school about 9 years ago, now I can't believe that it became a junior high! I took my children out not only because the administration has worsened but also because i dont believe my 6 year old should be in the same school with junior high students.
