Ella Baker School Reviews

My son was just accepted into Ella Baker and I am thrilled.  The school is small, family oriented and commited to creating a space where play, the arts and academics have equal value.  My son will play outdoors twice a day, cook, work on self-directed projects and art.  Kids work with the same teacher in mixed classes for two years.
 
We are from the Bronx and are so grateful for Ella Baker's commitment to accept students from all five boroughs.  My son has tested for G&T and I wouldn't move him regardless of his score.  I feel secure knowing that my son is entering a warm, friendly environment where he will be guided to love learning.

"This school has absolutely changed my son's life! He is a brilliant kid who has a learning disability, and the staff absolutely understands his situation and teaches the way he learns! They are so insightful, understanding and capable, I feel lucky that we are part of that community."

"They have a newly built building which is absolutely gorgeous and very well laid out. In general the staff is caring, but firm. Only bad thing is that parent involvement is not encouraged. Yet!!"
