Wonderful. A few bumps in the road but nothing is perfect. This school is a great asset to the neighborhood

A student makes a school, not the other way around. This school has an awesome educational model, and a principal that is priceless. It's there for your child (and my child). But Education starts at home. You do your part, you read with them, you do their homework with them, you get them ready to learn, you get them there, this school will do the rest.

The school curriculum stinks. When my oldest son went there over 10 years ago, he was an awersome student. Then the educators changed everything to balanced literacy and everyday mathematics. My middle son and youngest son have had nothing but problems with that stupid curriculum. The teachers are TEACHING TO THE TEST......They are filling the students with junk for the state exams.....my son forgot how to multiply and divide because they are shoving the test junk down his throat EVERY DAY!!!!!!! Kids are supposed to be learning in school..........not having to go to after school tutoroing to learn how to multiply and divide and to spell. Bring back old school teaching and learning!!!!!

I have really been pleased with everything I have come to realize about this school and really have had nothing but positive experiences over this past school year. I have to say that I am extremely thankful to the school for being a big reason for the great strides my somewhat shy daughter has taken during this 1st year socially as well as academically. All in all for this first kindergarten year I would have to say it has been an A rated experience!

My child use to attend this school. Overall most of the teachers are pretty good. The school does have some pretty good programs and if you have the perfect child everything is great. If your child is not perfect on their standards, they tend to be labeled as a trouble maker no matter what the situation is. The principal is a smart business woman but needs to learn how to be less condescending and less abrasive (less shouting when reprimanding) to your child when you are not around. It takes more than business smarts to know how to work with every type of child . Her job is to help mold and put structure into them not to ruin their self esteem.

My oldest daughter went to PS 112 K - 5 and graduated in 2008. We had a wonderful experience with the school. She liked all of the teachers and her principal also. Now my youngest is attending Kindergarten there. It is even better than I remember it. The school curriculum is up to date and good learning habits are encouraged and promoted without overwhelming the children. The principal is always on top of matters so they don't get out of hand and she works very hard on behalf of the school. Thanks to all of the staff there that have made my children's learning experience very memorable. It is a very good foundation for their future educational years.
