We are satisfied with PS143. My sons receive a superb education here and I see a lot of progress with academics over the years. My niece is here too and my sister raves about the support from the teachers and even the principal who listens and makes things better and cares about us. I wish the after school program had more seats because I’m on the waitlist. I feel safe and my sons never want to miss a day of school because they love school. I wish it was a middle school too. Thank you Miss Jaquez too.

My children likes this school and we started here from another school in Corona and this is no comparison. All teachers are nice and helpful to me. We have help and many programs for us.

PS143 has changed a lot over the last two years, and it has changed for the better. The staff is great and the overall school environment is great.

School has been changed for the better. I have a 5th grader and a 2nd grader at 143. The new principal changed everything and my 2nd grader is happy and learning more and more. I wish my son could stay longer or had a better oportunity when he started . The school communicates all the time and I never had that before. Workshops and coffee with principal or parent coordinator is my favorite. You feel that everyone helps and cares and it helped and the love is comforting especially during the scary covid.

With the pandemic I saw very clear that the administrartion has a very low approaching between education system and remote learning. The students should had been divided by a group with more lavel of electronic divices knowlege and get them advanced classes than the kids were not ready for used or take more time to explain the process of using technology. Very low program of art and socializing, creating more bulling and no respect between kids.

THIS SCHOOL WILL never make it threw the teachers has a way of rolling things off there back, the new principle is not helpful even when the worst is done. accidents happen and the ones involved they all cover there backs, i hope the school shuts down.
