P.S. 112 Lefferts Park School

Posted November 12, 2009

I love this place, and I've kept my daughter there even after we moved out of the area. Its small and clean and the reading/math scores are in the top tier of any school in Brooklyn, but you'd never know it because the parents aren't the same snooty breed as in schools in Bay Ridge and Park Slope. Its got some shortcomings...no gym and a skimpy music program...but the small/mid-sized school feeling and a dynamite principal make this a gem of Brooklyn, not just the neighborhood. Main downside is that it only goes to 5th grade..

This school is great. My son attended kindergarten in 2007/2008 and will be attending first grade this September. If I could mention a few things it would be that the staff (most of the staff) tends to be very condescending when speaking with parents. I found that some of the older teachers are very abrasive when they speak with parents as if they look at every one as a child. Additionally, this school is behind the times when it comes to communication of upcoming events and general topics of interest. They do not post events on their web site, they send paper home for everything and the paper that they do send home at times tends to be vague. I really think that in this day of 'green' and being responsible for waste, this school would come into the computer age with their communication to the parents of their students.
