Sunset Park Elementary School

So glad I'm in Middle school so I don't have to come back. Bullying was not taken seriously and all they said was to not do it again. The teachers are lazy and rude and I hope nobody comes to this school!

Outstanding, my student is learning and achieving at a high level since he has attended....from kindergarten to 4th grade! Unfortunately only one year left.....wish it were K thru 8.

Really terrible leadership (Principal) and horrendous staff (front office employees). Professionalism and flexibility is out the window in this school. I am not talking about teachers, as my daughter had a pretty good experience with hers, I am talking about management starting with the Principal. I have no idea how that lady learned to manage and no clue who hired her for that job but she has zero abilities to handle an office and deal with parents, specially working parents. As a parent, I have found myself asking different staff members after I get short vague answers from one another. I go above and beyond in order to ask a questions where it seems no one has a straight answer to. One day I asked for summer camp registration and I was told that the lady who's handling that was not there to answer that question and the next couple of days I couldn't register yet because they were not accepting payments and the next couple of days there was no more registration because it was full, just like that. Yes that actually happened to me. Everyone in that office has their own little task and they will not deviate one bit to accommodate anything for any parent, specially, working parents. You do not feel that you are part of the school. Every question and concern is taken with indifference. I had my daughter in the Before Care and After Care programs the entire year and I'm a working dad, and their office will not accept my payments for the program when I drop my daughter off because no one is there to take my payments until 10AM. Even though I'm a divorced dad and my daughter lives in separate homes, the school will not accommodate so I can make my payments the times that I have my daughter. Everything there is a too bad so sad attitude. Who in their right mind would restrict working parents from making payments and making the process more difficult than it has to be? Last year I registered my daughter for Summer camp in that school and she went to Summer camp. This year, my daughter is out of luck for summer camp, I couldn't registered because it was full and the administration will not prioritize their own students from that school. Without prior warning that perhaps spaces were limited this year. Actually, the admin never prioritizes their own students, not to sale the yearbooks, not to accommodate their own students in the summer program, and not for anything

So far not impressed! Meetings with all parents are given in English then repeated in Spanish! Really?!?! Who doesn't understand English needs to bring a translator or school can provide all info in Spanish to who needs. Not make us suffer and wait to hear in 2 languages. Communication between and teachers and parent are poor! 2016 starting off on a bad note
