Ps 156 Laurelton

"yesterday, my child was sent home withought a coat or hat. when I called I was transferred to the assistant principal, Ms. Jackson, who left me on hold for 15 minutes, prior to even asking my name, or the reason I was calling, and never returned to the phone. I visited the school this morning to speak to the principal who was very rude, uncaring and uncomforting. She offered no apology and failed to acknowlege the deplorable conditions of the bathroom at 8am this morning, which is the reason my child did not take her coat into the restroom, and subsequently was able to leave the school with no coat. Ms. Little, when i asked abour transferring my child to a better school, simply advised that I make sure to return the school books, because she paid for them. the school now accomodates up to 8th grade, even though there are kids as young as age 4 attending. the school's report card is terrible. I have had not a single positive experience at this school over the past 5 years."

"Do not bring you child here. He will be abused and overlooked specially if they’re not black. This kids are always bilittling other kids, hiring those not willing to fight back, fighting in groups, cursing, not following directions and breaking all the rules. It’s scary. You child/ren won’t be safe unless he’s a bully too. The dean, security the teachers, they all turn a blind eye to the situation. They are heartless. I guess they deal with this situation so often they have become numbed. Check out your other options, this school is not the way to go. Kids are so behind in all of their classes it’s sad. All the teachers are over worked and the classes are overcrowded. You could ask the teacher about you son and his well being and they can’t even give you an answer because they don’t give them any individual time."
