Research P.S. 64 Robert Simon School public Schools in Port Chester, New York

“This school is excellent. I attended this school when I was a child back in 1991 and compared to the way it is now, it has changed dramatically. The principal is very caring and personal. He takes the time to get to familiarize himself with the children and the parents. The teachers are wonderful, caring, attentive and they keep communication consistent throughout the year. I will recommend this school to anyone. It is a very family oriented enviornment. The Educational Alliance program has unfortunately had some budget cuts this year so they were unable to accept as many students as they normally do. Ms.R who runs the program is an excellent Director. She really cares aboutt he children.”

“I think is school is great, The principal is very helpful and he is very much, involved in all school activities. The PTA are trying their best to make things happen for this school, but the Educational Alliance program is not fair to all students.”

“This school is absolutely terrible. I have two kids in PS 64. The school is dirty, they don't seem to take parents seriously, and the principal, Sandra Litrico is rude and you can't get in touch with her. I wouldn't recommed this school to anyone! Ms. A. Rodriguez.”

“My son attended this school and I can truly say the reading and language program is exceptional and well beyond the standards I expected for a public school. As a new immigrant I was impressed by the core reading program and saw my son's reading level improve by two levels in one school year. The parent coordinator is accommodating and accessible. The principal and assistant principal are both warm and eager to meet and discuss concerns with parents. The overall discipline was good but not unusual for the community. The open door policy allows you to visit your child s classroom and really observe what is happening. The after school program is equally laudable because it is well managed and provides homework help which is really great for working parents who get in late. My only disappointment was with the classroom teachers.”

“PS64 has been a great part of my children's lives. This school has helped them to develop academically and physically. The teachers are willing to help any child in need. The staff are great and the principal and assistant principal both have an open policy with parents. Parent involvement has increased over the years and support of the community are greatly appreciated. This school is thriving and will succeed.”

“P.S. 64 provide a nurturing and caring environment. The teachers have open communication with the students and parents. P.S.64 has resources not easily found in other schools, and our principal is very dedicated to the school population. I don t know of any other school where the principal learns the name of all 350 students.”

“P.S. 64 places an emphasis and has improved dramatically over the past several years. Educators are highly dedicated and professional and students perform well on tests and assessments. Students participate in an afterschool program, art, gym, ballroom dancing, karate, and put on numerous shows each year.”

“A small traditional school where parents are devoted to their childs education. The school shares a the building with a charter school.”
