P.S. 257 John F. Hylan 60 Cook Street, Brooklyn, NY 11206

"My daughter did K-5 in this school. The Principle, Assistant Principle and Teachers and Staff are awesome. They are a great family oriented Staff and they cater to your child's needs. MS Velez stood out to me the most because she has a strong character and is on point with students who don't follow the rules or try to be unruly but is loving and watches out for students and parents well being. The Principle is awesome and strict but loving and kind. Assistant Principal Martinez is the bomb he is on point and always makes time for his students and parents plus always has a welcoming attitude and smile. Most Teachers and Staff here are well mannered and in it to help the students excell. They have Manny after school programs and academic programs. I give this school more than 5 stars if I could."

"So far so good! I use to go to P.S 257 and now my son is attending for the very first time (kindergarten). The only thing I do not like is the school hrs! I Know my son is just in kindergarten but 2:10 is way too early and it's not just kindergarten is the other grades also! Which isn't fair for parents who have to work and have little help. Besides that it's a great school"

"Mr. Martinez is the best vp ever... this school will always find away to work with the parents for the child's education because they do believe the future is in their hands."

"They tried to help the kids they take their time with them and give their time as teachers to the students in aftercare the principal and the Vice Principal a very caring back with a man that care about their students and make sure the school has the best that they could give them"

"A great school. Great programs. Not happy with 2 or 3 teachers but I still recommend this school to anyone interested. The assistant principal really cares for the kids."
