PS 47 Chris Galas School
Anne: Absolutely amazing. This school goes above and beyond to create a strong learning environment by implementing all of the latest tools, including computers for each child and smart boards in every classroom. The advancement I have seen in my first grade son is astonishing. He was diagnosed with ADHD and had struggled in pre-k and learning center day cares before this. Looking back on this time last year, he was just starting to form letters and hold his pencil correctly. Now he is writing clear words, forming full and logical sentenses in traditional marble notebooks as well as reading at a G level! There is constant communication with his teacher and all involved in his learning and I never feel out of the loop. If there is a problem noticed, it is addressed IMMEDIATELY, before it can escalate. If I could give this school 10 stars I would. I love it!
