P.S. 165 Ida Posner

"I am a former student, when I attended I was bullied constantly for being Hispanic by the other kids and only a few teachers would do something about it, I saw the special ed kids fight others in the bathroom, and the school safety at the time(Name: Brown) did nothing about it and a fifth grade teacher at the time Ms. Roberta Cisse was very racist towards me and spoke to me as if I were dumb child. My mother tried to talk to the staff and principal but the principal at the time Fran Ellers just swept it under the rug . Also the principal misspelled my last name on my historian graduation trophy and she said she would fix it but that time did never came. After I left for high school my life got soooo much better and Now I am finishing college in one of the very best colleges in NY. If you have a child who attends here is bullied let them know to keep doing their best and eventually when the time comes for them to go to high school and college life will a lot better"

"This is a great school. It has some great teachers. My two kids go there and the teachers works with them. Fortunately the had some of the best teachers Ms. Charles, Ms. Richards and Ms Chomely. It's devastating and hursts that they no longer have the middle school. So I have to try looks for school where boths kids can attend. I will recommend this school if you work with your kid/s and teacher the will perform outstanding"

"My experience was challenging fun and exciting. I have made it to the 6th grade so far in this school. My school had two different principals so far and I was class president of class 502 for this school year 2015 to 2016. I started at the school in kindergarten.Ms.ellers was the principal. Now Mr bonds and Ms myrie is at the school. Ms modeste was my fifth grade teacher and she was the best I've had so far. She's inspired me and helped me study hard so one day I will be able to go to HARVARD UNIVERSITY."

"This school has a serious safety issues. My son which is in 2nd grade was being bullied by an 8th grader and the school just swept it under rug. It is a elementary school and middle school and it only have one school safety agent. They have no cameras throughout the entire building which has four floors. Most of the teachers have a bad attitude. I live in the neighborhood and I've seen staff buying beer at the store. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone."

"I didn't like the school the first time my son when there last year. They didn't do nothing about my son getting bully coming home with wounds. But this year its a lot better . But its loud in there eating area. The kid are disresectful. The teacher let the kids do what ever and talk back what the hell. So I took my son out of there"
