"P. S. 398 is a small school with big dreams! At P.S. 398 they believe that children learn best when there is modeling; opportunities for learning through various modalities; hands-on exploratory learning, using manipulatives, pictures, technology; students to student and group discussion; questioning using depth of knowledge to promote higher order. P.S. 398 have many talented students and teachers. It has special activities and events such as; musical performances, winter concerts, Black History Concerts, School Spirt Days, Fun Fridays, Annual Breast Cancer Walk, Annual Tea Party, 100 Book Challenge and Spring Talent Shows. P.S. 398 have several clubs that include; dance, Art, Stem, Chess and Track. The STAR Academy - Students Tackling Academic Rigor; provides students who are performing above grade level to reach their full potential. P.S. 398 is a Great School!!"

"Well my rating is based on first hand experience 8 years ago. If Mr.Geller is still the principal with Mr.Johnson as the A.P., Ms. Foye, Vernalyn Rowe, T-Reid, and Jackson-Brewer teaching, then it is a wonderful school. As for the students, they were tolerable back then. I doubt they've become more tolerable now due to the day and age that we live in now."
