This school has one of the most supportive environments for students. Several student leadership groups. The principal is one of the most caring and dynamic persons in a long time. My kids are very happy attending this school and so am I.

This school is all about the students. Ms. Irizarry will put anything in the line to do what it's best for the children. Most of the staff is very approachable and knowledgeable. Every school should be like this first and then we focus on the performance, which by the way, have been constantly improving for the last 5 years...

I'm a neighbor. My name is Candy. I'm so impressed by this school that I must say something. This place is a school alright but really, it is a community pulsating with vibrance and life. I volunteered for a day in their Children's Day activities and I was amazed at the camaraderie and team spirit. For a while I forgot I was in a school. I thought I was with family. The warmth and energy was incredible. I salute the teamwork of the parents and staff. The leadership was second to none. Honestly, I would not think twice about volunteering again. Candy

My son was in Mr. Goldberg 's class last year. I could not say enough compliment for this teacher. He was knowledgeable, smart and genuinely cared about his students. I only wish that he could follow my son to fourth grade not only because of his compassionate ways but also because of his amazing ability to connect with young children. He deserves commendation. Kudos to MR. GOLDBERG!!!!

I currently have a 6th grader and a 7th grader attending Reilly. I'm not crazy about this school due to the fact that the teachers do not seem to have control of their students. On the other hand this is a problem that stems from home, i get that. I have had my child come home day after day complaining about how the teachers talk to the class. For example telling my daughters class that they need to pay attention in school so they can get good jobs and help their parents get off welfare. News flash not all of us hard working parents are collecting welfare. Administration has been notified and no results. My 7th grader never brings home any homework. If i had another option I would pull my girls out of that school. My 6th grader was in gifted classes that are no longer offered. This school needs to get it together.

I am currently a seventh grader. I used to go to Reilly but I transffered and now go to Bridge. I have to admit, Reilly was terrible. I was in a gifted class and the kids still misbehaved and didn't do their work! A gifted class! I have to say the teachers were wonderful though. But I wish the lessons they taught were a lot more challenging and academical. The students feel as if they can do whatever they want.. I remember my fourth grade teacher telling us to be quiet in the hallway but everyone just continued talking and she just took us to class like we were a lound talking mob or something! I really wish the school can perform a lot better on ISAT tests. After all it is on probation so hopefully they are trying really hard.. I love going to Bridge because it has a wide and I mean WIDE variety of sports to choose from! Including other activities. We do much more challenging and brain ivolving activities that help us a lot. In fact, we took ISAT testing today and the math and reading was soo easy! I guess I learned a lot here at birdge! Transffering to Bridge is the best choice me and my om ever made! Selective enrollment high school here I come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

The teachers at this school are passing my son. He does not know how to write nor do math. I am not happy with this school. They should be teaching him instead of passing him.
