This school is one of the worst schools in the Bronx. I would not recommend any parent to send their children here. The principal is horrible, the school staff are very unhelpful, they only work for earnings and do not care about the students or families. They do not inform parents about important events such as school openings, supply lists, which teachers the child will have for the year and what class they will be in. It also seems like no one knows what's going on at the school. You could call them and no one would give you a clear answer they all seem to have no idea what's going on. In my opinion and based off my experience I think the board of education should close this school or replace its current staff members. Parents, whoever is with me on this let's stand together so schools like this can be removed from our community and give our children a better chance at succeeding.

I am thankful for all the members of P.S 182. This is my daughter third year at this school. As parent, I am so happy to know that my daughter is in good school. I always feel support for her teachers and stuff at PS 182. I am looking forward for another successful year.

My son is new to this school. I have to admit he was welcome extremely well. In terms of academics since he was in a private school. I am not please. I am hoping next year will be his last year. It sucks no after school and I have to deal with KIps Bay which I admit I like. It surprise me how well that facility is. Otherwise that his teacher in the 3 rd grade very nice. It just the school is way too overcrowded and I feel even lost going there.

The three stars that I give are for the teachers that try really hard under the circumstances. The school has over 1000 students when it was originally designed for 450. The overcrowding has a MAJOR impact on the quality of education obtained. It's time for a turnover as far as administration as far as the principal, assistant principals (except Ms. Oldak), Parent Coordinator, and some of the lunch aides. It's shameful that staff in the building have to be intimidated by their boss and walk on eggshells. There's only compromise with the principal when she's forced to. I feel that the chancellor and superintendent needs to make surprise visits instead of scheduled ones! They need to come when the kids are in the common areas - like when they're going to class in the morning and during the lunch periods!

This school has great teachers. The wealth of experience and passion to be found heading the classrooms is nothing short of inspiring. However, these amazing teachers are not supported by the administration. You can see this in the downcast eyes and averted glances when you walk down the halls. Adding to this problem is the very real gulf that exists between the administration and the parents. It is something that really detracts from the draw that this school could have. The final part of this recipe for disaster is an ineffectual, unconcerned and unprofessional parent coordinator. I will not go into further detail about her. You must visit the school in order to fully grasp the impact that she has on the overall atmosphere of the building. It is unfortunate because this school has incredible teachers, concerned and active parents and happens to be the only school in District 8 that houses a Gifted and Talented program. Contrary to the overall theme of this review t's not all doom and gloom but be prepared to advocate and be an active participant in your child's education if you're considering this school.

My son has been at this school since kindergarden and all of his teachers to date have been great. They care and that is very important especially if your child has special needs. The staff is helpful and know my son by name. Even the therapists are great. I can only speak about a couple of them, but they are attentive and genuinely care.

I am in the 5th grade at this school and i must say it's a bad school. The students have no respect for each other, the lunch room is always messy, and out of all the teachers, these are the only good ones (If your child behaves) : Ms. Alteiri, Ms. Galvez, Ms. Rosa, Ms. Katechis, Ms. Cerfida and Ms. Flood (who is retired, sadly). You have to watch out for Ms. Jacobs, Ms. Sementa, Ms. Quinn, Ms. Silkman, and Ms. Cosia
