Parent & Student Testimonials | Brooklyn Gardens Elementary

Mindy Tran, Parent

“All of my daughter’s teachers have been a positive influence for her. The dance team is a hugely important part of her life and we could not have picked a better coach than Ms. David. Her kindness, patience, and talent are above and beyond! My daughter’s experiences here have driven her to pursue her love for dance in high school.

“I can’t believe you can like school so much. At P.S. 456 my teachers help me work at a pace that is good for me. This is great for me because I excel at high level Math concepts and the more time I spend learning the better I get.”

“One thing I realized during my son’s final year at P.S. 456, was how kind and responsible he had become - not only for himself, but for friends and family too. The school works as a community to really develop responsibility, sensitivity, and resourcefulness in the students”

“Our third grader came home saying, "I made so many new friends! The school is so cool! Can I go there, too?" This, from a child who was happy and comfortable in the school she'd attended since pre-K. The students she'd met at P.S. 456 were so warm, so welcoming and friendly.“

Justin Thompson, Student, Class of 2018

“I gained self responsibility and personal empowerment. I loved attending P.S. 456 and miss it immensely!”
