Ps 209 Margaret Mead School Reviews

Rated

It's unfair to print an anonymous statement that is not truly reflective of P.S. 209. The principal maintains an "open door" policy. She welcomes all parents and is truly concerned that children and parents are treated fairly and respectfully. This parent should take the time to make an appointment to see the principal and raise any concerns, she will be pleasantly surprised.  The principal and teachers are true professionals who work hard to maintain high standards. The teachers have always communicated with parents to keep them informed and to engage them in the partnership of educations since it is school policy.
It's not true that teachers just want to get through the day. Their goal and purpose is to insure that the best education possible is provide to every student.
I have two daughters in PS 209 since they were in first and second grade and thoughuot all this years we had all the support and help from the teachers as well from every one else in the staff, my daughters are happy to be here and are not the only ones thinking that way, the comments made by this person against them are very unfare and not true, maybe after all she comes out and bring her concerns to our school, she'll find out how wrong she is in her concepts instead of hidding to make derogatory remarks about people she don't know.

My children are in first grade at PS 209 and I am very unhappy with the general state of this school.  The principal is inaccessible and it's impossible to meet with her and raise concerns.  The teachers (some of them) rarely communicate with the parents and always seem to have an excuse as to why certain information is not relayed.  It seems that all they want to do is get through the day!!
