Absolutely love P.S. 8. Both of my kids attend this school & truly enjoy it. Not only are the teachers & staff very friendly, but they go the extra mile to include the parents in everything they do. They have fantastic events that everyone takes part in. From the administrative standpoint- I find it refreshing to see how they aren't afraid to try something new.
