We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN TO THIS SCHOOL . Parents shouldn't have to worry about their children's safety when it's come to school . Sadly that is the case here at this achievement first East NY elementary school. Even the staff such as ASHLEY RODRIGUEZ (Dean) is very bias to certain situations and she does a horrible job at stopping bullying .

A long school day does get the most out of kids academically, but it also gets the most out of their energy. Every day, my child comes home at 4:15 pm with littl...
