P.S. 23 - The New Children's School 2151 Washington Avenue, The Bronx, NY 10457

"Shirley Torres is a great person !!! The school is a perfect setting for kids, the set up is lovely and high maintenance."

"This school was great when it first opened. However as the times change so do the teachers and the way the school is run. I remember being able to speak with a teacher when needed now you can only talk to them on Tuesday's. They have forgotten parents have jobs too and what may be convenient for the school is not for the parent. They want parents to be involved but make it hard to communicate with the teachers. HOWEVER, they had all the time in the world to tell me they needed to speak with me as I dropped my son off one morning to tell me my son may have autisim and should be evaluated. I'm a very involved mom so for me to be told I could not talk in person with the teacher as I was dropping off my son but was told I can speak with her on the phone from the security desk like I'm some criminal was very demeaning, meanwhile I drop my son off every morning and see other parents walking into the building with no one stopping them. But I guess it's when they feel it's OK for you to speak with a teacher."

"Teachers don't take the time to listen and accuse you to much plus too many lockdowns"

"I was here since pre-k and I always have bin really happy ever since I moved to Manhattan"
