George P. Phenix School

So far so good. I'm a parent, my child is in the 2nd grade and has attended since PK. His teachers: Mrs. Levitt for PK, Mrs. Gross for K, and Mrs. Cross for 1st, have all been amazing. We had a couple of incidents of bullying and poor behavior on the bus but when I called the school, teachers, counselors, and transportation dept they all got on board and took action. I dont play. They use the Pals evaluation to determine your child's level of performance, my child has always shown high marks and shown improvements all around by the end of the school year. It's too early in the year to give an honest assessment of his 2nd Grade teacher but stay tuned for any updates. I would recommend this school, they even get higher mark's on reading, math and science than the local magnet schools. Classrooms have been averaging 20 kids to 1 teacher and 1 assistant. They are good about writing notes home if your child misbehaves in class. I'm one of those parents that doesn't expect the teachers to do the disciplining or parenting for me so I can appreciate being informed on my child's behavior when I'm not around. We're only 2 weeks into this school year and someone in my child's class had already stolen a few of his materials! Hopefully that's not a sign of things to come.

My kids love this school. The teachers are great. I don't have any complaints. ?
